Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Shares New Lyric Video For “El Evil”

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum has re banded to complete fourth studio album titled of the Last Human Being. The record finally arrives as the very first release on AVANT NIGHT, which a new imprint headed by Nick Ohler and facilitated by Joyful Noise Recordings. Commemorating its arrival, the record’s focus track is “El Evil,” which is a glorious cacophony of bass, guitars, drums, violins, bells, yelling and growling. The song, for a late Tony Gallegos, feels like a battle cry, with calls of “make room for Bunny Man!”

While talking about the song, Nils Frykdahl said: “The refrain of ‘El Evil’ is borrowed from the Idiot Flesh song ‘Let the Dog Sing’ (recorded in 1998 but soon to be released). At a show in Fresno, Tony had joined us in his Bunny Man costume. A drunken bar patron kept yelling ‘Hey, let the dog sing!’ Only near the end of the show did we realize he thought Tony was a dog. Gracias to his family in Norwalk for years of hospitality. Nothing will outshine.”
