Seventeen Evergreen

Spiritual Pajamas

San Francisco based duo Seventeen Evergreen reflect the west coast spirit of five decades of Psychedelia and its many flavors on the spectrum between pop and experimentation. After flirtations with other locales over the last few years, the pair can’t stay away from the foggy but tumultuous city on the edge of the world they call home. Caleb Pate and Nephi Evans, both singers, producers and multi-instrumentalists also spend time DJ’ing and working on their respective solo projects. Every new SE recording seems to be an unintentional reinvention rebelling from their previous flights of fancy.

In the last eight years, they have crafted a number of releases on UK label Lucky Number Music and their own Pacific Radio Fire imprint. The limited-edition Epiphanie Solaire is their latest EP and first on Spiritual Pajamas.  

2012 full length album, “Steady On, Scientist” boasted not just 1 but 4 or 5 radio-ready, space age pop anthems that marry the pair’s embrace of new pop music and tranced out, mind expanders.  Often cited for their strong video work, this record was no exception including the now classic, philosophical, yarn bombing, technicolour masterpiece “Polarity Song”, directed by Terry Timely, which had over 100K views in its first weekend and earned widespread media and fan praise alike.

The band has garnered a following in Europe and has appeared on Rob Da Bank’s BBC Radio 1 show, BBC 6 Music and XFM and played various festivals in the UK including End Of The Road Festival and First City Festival in California. Tom Ravenscroft debuted several of the new tracks ahead of release on his Friday night BBC 6 Music show.
