Evolfo "Of Love"

Evolfo’s upcoming release, Of Love, continues the band’s evolution by planting both feet in a brave new world of songs built upon many hours of experimentation and group improvisation. Out May 2026 on the band’s own Food Of Love label, Of Love culls their expansive ear into 13 exploratory, straight-from-the-heart tracks: lead single “Rest Your Head On The Stone” marks Evolfo’s new era with a tale of loss and surrender. The band showcase the breadth of their psychedelic viewpoint with the hypnotic and danceable “Restless Seed” and through lyrical barrage of “The Committee.” Looping outlier “Silver Dog” harkens back to a primordial version of Evolfo; one that’s more Captain Beefheart and less Khruangbin-influenced.

While Of Love represents a new frontier for Evolfo, growth and experimentation is the bedrock of the band. Since forming over a decade ago, the seven-piece have culled a sonic universe that pushes the boundaries of psych rock – developing a devoted following among DIY scenes, festival communities, and far beyond. On Of Love – and across their two prior EPs, multiple singles and innumerable raucously received performances –  Evolfo offers a feast of expressive psych soul, sinister garage, and spaced-out experimental rock a la Can and Yes. “We don’t do the typical psychedelic rock platitudes,” says guitarist and vocalist Matt Gibbs. “We treat the word ‘psychedelic’ as an opportunity to explore sonic and conceptual limits. That’s what psychedelic really means, mind manifesting, like where the mind expands to accept something new. “
