“It’s nocturnal, swirling and atmospheric, but more tuneful than droning. These are noir moodscapes you can dance to,” wrote Paul Lester when he profiled Evvol in New Band of the Week earlier this year. They were, he concluded, “the best Franco-Australian-Irish band we’ve heard in ages”.
Speaking about their debut album, Eternalism, Evvol’s Julie Chance said: “There’s no way a person cannot be affected by living in a city like Berlin. Plus we’re really into the music that has been made in the city – Bowie’s Berlin trilogy and Iggy Pop’s The Idiot. It was very natural that we ended up there and I just think you can’t help but be influenced by your surroundings.”
Now you can hear Eternalism and decide for yourself whether Paul was getting a bit overexcited, or whether he had a point. Have a listen and let us know.
