Honestly this really about checking out the Evens period if you’ve never heard of them before. I was out at the bar the other day with Ben from my band and we ran into my buddy Jimmy who used to play in some punk bands back in the 90s. Anyways, long story short he mentioned I needed to check out the evens because I mentioned some minimalist rock.
Right the and there I added it to my library and kind of forgot about it. Flash forward a couple of days and I’m driving in my car trying to think of what to listen to (which happens far too often honestly) and I saw this, clicked it, and fell in love.
Shelter Two is the first song on the album and not so coincidentally is the first song I really liked from them. Maybe most importantly, and what I’ve failed to mention until now…The Evens consists of Ian MacKaye from Fugazi. Its really cool hearing him in this entirely new context.
Anyways, enough blabbering from me. Check it out below!
