San Francisco-based duo Seventeen Evergreen are set to release their next EP, Psyentist, on December 6th after a nearly five-year hiatus. The Psyentist EP is a four-track experiment in pop sounds, and Caleb Pate explains that the reverb-heavy track "Angel," which incorporates harp strings, is a "fantasy pinnacle, a love out of reach, a delusional silver screen frozen in nothing-time. This song goes out to those unlucky in love. Dreamers finish last... or first? But still don't get him, completely."

Seventeen Evergreen's Psyentist EP will be available on December 6th, but you can download "Angels" for free here.

Song Stories

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
