The first album from Everest, 2008’s “Ghost Notes,” tested the waters of Americana while, the Los Angeles quintet would admit, not exactly going where no flannel shirt-wearing rockers had gone before. Two years later they came back with the assertive, anthemic “On Approach,” stamping themselves as arena-worthy rockists who could seemingly move mountains with a churn of guitars. Now Russell Pollard and bandmates Jason Soda, Joel Graves, Elijah Thomson and Davey Latter are working on a third volume, to be released later this year on Warner. The first track “Into the Grey” is an insistent stomp that whistles while it works. “Let Go,” and bob your head accordingly.
