Evil

Avers – 'Omega / Whatever' – Out July 29th via Egghunt Records
Order: po.st/AversOW

With four songwriters, four singers, and 11 tracks of guitar-saturated rock & roll, Avers' second album, Omega/Whatever, is proof that there's strength in numbers.

The record shines new light on a band that made its first splash with 2014's Empty Light. Avers supported that debut release by leaving their hometown of Richmond, VA, and crisscrossing the country on tour, opening for bands like Foo Fighters and J. Roddy Walston along the way. They made a national splash during the 2015 SXSW Festival, too, with everyone from Esquire Maga-zine to The Daily Beast listing them as one of the week's breakout bands.

Two years after Empty Light's release, Omega/Whatever finds them returning to their unofficial headquarters — Montrose Recording, a modern studio located on a historic Richmond plantation and operated by bandmate Adrian Olsen — and creating another self-produced album of rumbling rock, shot through with pop hooks, layers of percussion, and coed melodies from four different vocalists. It's a mix of old and new, much like the studio that birthed it.

It's an album about balance, too, centered around the struggles of living in the modern world. There are songs about divorce, technology, late nights, corrupt politicians, and societal norms, all delivered by a group of songwriters who share their creative duties equally. Olsen, Alexandra Spalding, James Mason, and JL Hodges trade off vocal duties, too, with multi-instrumentalist Charlie Glenn pitching in on keyboards, harmonies, and swells of electric guitar. There's no consistent frontman, no singular leader, no main guitarist. Those roles are fluid, which makes Omega/Whatever very much the product of a band, not just one bandmate's vanity project.

Like the album that came before it, Avers' second release came together during a series of in-spired sessions at Montrose, with each song beginning as a fledgling idea brought to the table by one of the band's four writers. The entire group would then pitch in, turning that idea into something nuanced and layered. Avers would ultimately finish each song as a collective unit, recording the track the same day it was written. The result is an "infectious" and "ebullient" (The AV Club) sound that not only reintroduces the band, but not also offers an insider's look at their creative process.

Mixed by Peter Kadis (The National, Kurt Vile) and mastered with Greg Calbi, Omega/Whatever is a battle cry from a band that's fighting the good fight.

"Come To Me Now"
I don't know where this cut came from
But now I'm stuck here bleeding out in the sun
Spoke to me softly with tears in your eyes
Wind through the ruins and the autumn sky
Oh Babe, Come to me now

Pain in my heart, no it don't stand still
It runs to the bottle and runs through the pills
You said that you'd be there when shit hit the fan
Now it has, and I guess that you've made other plans.  
Oh Babe, Come to me now

In the summer's pouring rain they found you
With the damage to your brain, are you someone new?

Living in a dark room with two ways out
One is the window and one is the couch
Do I hear another knock at the door?
I don't care anymore
Oh Babe, come to me now.

- DWLY - 
I'd do anything just to meet you
Go to war just to get a little taste of you
So tell me baby are you coming down
I hate it when you're not around it's true

I know everyone wants to be you
I see their faces when you slide into the room
Help me baby cause I'm coming down
I hate it when you're not around it's true

I don't care who you are
I dont wanna lose you

I try everything just to please you
Left me hanging with all those words you said
Tell me baby when you're coming down
I hate it when you're not around it's true

I don't care who you are
I dont wanna lose you

Dont Wanna Lose You
