Plunge

The New York-based musician’s fourth album displays his skills as a bandleader and producer while highlighting his charms as a songwriter.

The mid-’80s were awash in action verb titled albums with the likes of INXS’ Kick, The Human League’s Crash, and the more obscure Van Dyke Parks’ Jump!. Aside from sharing the call to get moving, Sam Evian’s fourth solo album, Plunge, has little in common with the referenced albums.
