Emea - Dampier (Sau Poler Remix)

I'll Do What You Want Me To

Our original demo for Mid Mountain Blues,  eventually released in Japan on "Naturalizms".  

"Mid Mountain Blues"  by Sukpatch

Out March 9/10 on Slumberland Records (N & S America) and Fortuna Pop! (ROW).

Evans the Death return with their second album "Expect Delays" in March via Fortuna POP! (Europe) and Slumberland Records (USA). Recorded again with producer Rory Atwell, the album bristles with an underlying tension and veers from rip-roaring noise to quiet contemplation, underpinned by Katherine Whitaker’s extraordinary voice.

Still barely out of their teens, there’s a tremendous sense across "Expect Delays" of a band coming into their own, honing a plethora of influences to make a sound that is uniquely them. Each song on the album has a different feel to it: some of them are melodic and pretty; some of them heavy and dissonant; and some of them are, to quote guitarist Dan Moss, “a bit strange”. While retaining the post-punk and 90s alt-rock inspired elements that peppered their debut, the music is more expressive, heavier and more experimental, and the lyrics more nuanced, the sense of despair leavened by sharp wordplay and humour.

The unsettling undercurrent of melancholy and hopelessness that pervades the record has its roots in the last three years, spent eking out an existence on the poverty line in Cameron’s Britain, leaving them with a succession of minimum-wage jobs and unemployment benefits interviews. As guitarist Dan Moss relates, the album is about “being in London and feeling hopeless and a bit lost. Not having any money, relationships falling apart, things just not connecting or going anywhere and getting absolutely wasted all the time.”

Named after the undertaker in Dylan Thomas's 'Under Milk Wood,' the band’s 2012 self-titled inaugural album saw critical acclaim from the likes of Q, Uncut and Artrocker, as well as radio play on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music and XFM. After a change in line-up following the release of their debut, the band regrouped around the core of brothers Dan and Olly Moss and singer Katherine Whitaker for the recording of "Expect Delays." Drummer James Burkitt was recruited from Leeds’ band The ABC Club to complete a taut new four-piece.

More ambitious and focused than their previous record, whilst sacrificing none of their spontaneity and vitality, "Expect Delays" is a supremely inventive and intelligently crafted album from a band who have suffered for their art, and used that experience to inform and nourish their work. Expect no more delays, Evans the Death have arrived.

“Evans the Death manage to make humdrum everyday existence seem quite magical” Q ****

“A wonderful marriage of converse elements elegantly crafted into its own neat mess.” Artrocker *****

“Terrific” Uncut

Evans The Death - Enabler

Pinact "Up or Down" from Stand Still and Rot. Out May 18/19 (Kanine Records)

So this is the hard part
I’ve never been good at
Hold onto your goodbye
This isn’t the last time
You’re going to see me here
Remember what you whispered in my ear
Although it won’t last long
It’s just something we’re both going through

You want to run around 
But I don’t know which way is up or down
I don’t know why I do
The things I do to make it clear to you

And sometimes it works out
Be patient we’ll find out
‘Cos nothing is easy
Complete me, completely
You said that this was it
The closest thing to a relationship
Although it won’t last long
It’s just something we’re both going through

You want to run around 
But I don’t know which way is up or down
I don’t know why I do
The things I do to make it clear to you


Up Or Down

Hot on the heels of their Shaun Keaveny BBC 6music Record Of The Week for their abrasive, distortion-heavy single "Enabler", and a host of glowing reviews including an 8/10 from NME for their remarkable new album Expect Delays, Evans The Death are set to release a second single “Sledgehammer” from the album. Poppier and more immediate than "Enabler", and bursting with exuberance and youthful angst, the new single showcases a different side to the band (and has absolutely nothing to do with the Peter Gabriel 1986 smash with the same name).

Recorded with producer Rory Atwell, Expect Delays is due out in March via Fortuna POP! (UK/EU) and Slumberland (USA) and bristles with an underlying tension, veering from rip-roaring noise to quiet contemplation, underpinned by Katherine Whitaker’s extraordinary voice. Still barely out of their teens, there’s a tremendous sense across Expect Delays of a band coming into their own, honing a plethora of influences to make a sound that is uniquely them.

Stop Kidding Yourself

Produced by Aidan O'Brien

My love, where have we gone
Am I really worth it? Am I really gold?
My love, all of this space
I left the window open, so I could call your name

I'm sorry, sorry that you wanted more
I'm sorry that you didn't get what you came here for 
I'm sorry, sorry that you wanted more
I'm sorry that you didn't get what you came here for 

My love, don't stay
Don't you keep me with you, just to keep your place 
My love, don't stay 
You loved me far to tightly, but you'll let go some day

I'm sorry, sorry that you wanted more
I' sorry that I couldn't feel what you're fighting for 
I'm sorry, that you gave it all
I'm sorry that the better you give the harder you fall 

All my skin, I'm wrapped in
All I need

Sorry

Say Yes! A Tribute to Elliott Smith

Bled White (Elliott Smith Cover) by Yuck

Taken from Evans the Death's new album Vanilla, due out on Fortuna POP! on 10 June 2016.

It's their most their most ambitious and experimental album to date, eschewing the more traditional pop structures and hooks of their first two albums, 2012’s self-titled debut and 2015’s critically acclaimed Expect Delays. While Expect Delays was a step towards something more collaborative, experimental and abrasive - a bleak, introspective album that still retained a pop sensibility - Vanilla sees the band veer in an ever more adventurous direction: more aggressive, extroverted and raw.

Vanilla

Evans the Death - Suitcase Jimmy

Glasgow's Batteries, the trading name of bis boy Steven Clark, return with the absolute rock hammer of "Pankhurst". It's a metallic synth-punk blast with a massive, stadium-ready melodic chorus which again seems to channel Queens of the Stone Age playing Devo or vice-versa. There's no denying the metal this time and the thrashy sting in the tail ends proceedings a million miles away from Steven's late 90's origins. Lyrically, it's lobotomy or not to lobotomy - the juxtaposition between wanting to give up and wanting to continue the fight. To be a footnote or a Pankhurst. An insight into new album "The Finishing Line" and its darker twists and turns, "Pankhurst" is Batteries modus operandi in all its glory.
