Original Pressing on SST on BLACK vinyl in very good condition. "EVOL is the third studio album from Sonic Youth, originally released in 1986 on SST Records. The album is notable for being the first with new drummer Steve Shelley, replacing Bob Bert, and forshowing signs of the band transitioning away from their noise-rock past and toward a greater rock sensibility.The record marks the second album for the band in which it had worked with New York singer/performance artist Lydia Lunch. Lunch had shared vocal duties on Bad Moon Rising’s “Death Valley ’69” and on this record she co-wrote the tune “Marilyn Moore.” “Shadow of a Doubt” takes a great part of its lyrical imagery from the Hitchcock film Strangers on a Train: “Met a stranger on a train/you’ll kill him and I’ll kill her/swear it wasn’t meant to be."
