About
Evan Presley And The Extreme Being was an experimental music project active during the 1980s, releasing a series of conceptually ambitious cassettes through the independent Calypso Now label. Operating within the broader underground experimental and noise music landscape of that era, the project demonstrated a willingness to explore unconventional sonic territories and abstract thematic frameworks. Their three documented releases—The Singing Sensation From The ID (1983), The Return Of The 12th Imam And Other Stories (1986), and Party In The Suburb Of The Sun (1987)—showcase an evolution in approach across the decade, with titles suggesting surrealist and esoteric conceptual interests. The project's cassette-based distribution aligned with the DIY ethos of underground experimental music scenes during this period. While detailed documentation of their sonic aesthetic remains limited, the group's sustained output across multiple releases and mysterious project name indicate involvement in the deeper experimental music underground of the 1980s, though broader influence on subsequent industrial or dark ambient scenes remains largely undocumented.
