Evelyn Red

 

Eva’s album “Surfacing From Silence” is a work of complexity & subtle nuance. It’s warm & human heart tells a tale of relationship & redemption in the face of challenge

“Not Alone” contains a labyrinth of vocal harmonies & lyrically poignant perspectives , bathed in a wash of electric guitars , dynamic bass & percussion interplay

“Into Her Mind” projects a prominent six string Axe figure , coupled with the neo-folk meets hard rock underpinnings that are one of the trademarks of Eva. If Heart would have had more altruism & guts in a form that is intrinsic to Eva , they would have been much better a musical entity

The Vox work of Rebekka Rakobitsch are a stand out feature of the richly textured & powerful sound of Eva. Whether standing in a singular fashion or adorned with multiple harmonies , this chanteuse has an altruistic delivery & verve that is unique & gripping , without any pretension. Rebekka simply dives right into the heart of the matter from the sonic start

“On My Own” comes off in a pseudo-orchestrated manner , with the constant aid of complimentary guitar work. The usage of major & minor cadence in Eva’s music , lends an extra drama & effect to the performance

“Alive” is a nice moody tangent , with it’s introspective tone & phase shifted (or is it flanged) electric guitar flourishes. The deep colored ambiance & deliberate minimalist arrangement is a joy to listen to. This song is alive with melodic & lyrical flair

Eva exudes a cathartic emotive aura to the work which highlights the concepts of discovery & renewal. This American band from New York is a refreshing departure from the norm of many derivative bands. Take a spin with Eva & enter a world of musical empowerment , expression & originality
