{Verse 1}
Blue eye on a mountain top
Whisper when you’re here
Cast down such molten rock
A spinning star is here
 
{Verse 2}
River run steer light along
Blush every flower of spring
Echo goes valleys unknown
The song of a heart is here
 
[Chorus}
The swallow knows, no sorrow
Across sea nothings feared
 
{Verse 3}
Days done no trouble comes
Burden breaks a new way
Silence songs its grateful wait
The song of a heart is here
 
{Chorus}
The swallow knows no sorry
Across sea nothings feared
 
{Verse 4}
Choirs of Swallows fly
Begin another year
O’my finger no strings tie
A spinning star is here

Swallows (demo)

Mama said wear your smile 
Wear it down every mile
Till home walks to you 
 
Static this affair
Ran its course in despair
No one listen to me

No tight hands can hold a heart
To labour without love

Being called don’t know where
Got to go just anywhere
Don’t come for me

Took the best
Of what’s left now I
go to find my two feet

No tight hands can hold a heart
To labour without love

River carve a home, smoothing over lost stone, tumble weed follow me through the rivers over worries… tumble weed follow me

Promises of Gasoline (demo)

EVERGREEN are London based comprising vocalist Sofia Tobin and guitarist Alex Dengate. The two first met during one of Sofia’s recording sessions, where Alex was brought in as a session musician. A natural musical chemistry quickly emerged, laying the foundation for a deeper, more collaborative project.
 
Tobin was born in Dublin and raised in the foothills of County Wicklow. Her songwriting is grounded in the traditions of Irish folk balladry, yet it also leans into something more expansive and quietly cinematic. She’s drawn to the conventions of Irish storytelling, particularly its use of song as a way of navigating grief, uncertainty and connection.
 
Alex grew up in Chesterfield, where his dad’s record collection shaped his early musical life – from the Ramones to AC/DC. He is now based in London having graduated from the University of Liverpool with a music degree. Though shaped by louder and heavier influences, his playing reveals an understated musicality.
 
Though they both arrived at music through very different paths, what became clear early on was the way their sensibilities could co-exist. Where Sofia leans into atmosphere and lyricism, Alex brings structure and melody. Their music references the labrynthine harmonies of Jeff Buckley and the purposeful drive of Led Zeppelin.
