invAder by Steve Dale
First album. Written/recorded in the summer of 2022. (Drums added in spring 2023). Follow the story of Evots, (pronounced Ee-vose) and alien fleeing his home world from 2000 light years away and has to abandon ship and crash on Earth, (specifically south shore Long Island).
He has to spend some time there while his escape pod recharges from the power of Earth’s sun. He ventures into a local bar, with a smiling moon logo, meets some locals, forms a connection with an earthling, hears the story of the dreaded year of 2020, gets taken to his first earth party (in 5/4 time no less), explains why he left his planet in the first place, shares a message of hope to his new friend, and ultimately bids everyone a fond farewell when his pod is ready to return him home.
