The Evens
The Evens
I've had this album for a while now - a new project from Fugazi's Ian Mackaye, with Amy Farina on drums and vocals, and Ian on guitar and vocals.
I wasn't really sure what to make of this and after some deliberation I'm staying on the fence. A few tracks are like mellow Fugazi, with pared down drums, guitar and vocals working well. On the other hand, Amy's vocals, particularly when harmoized with Ian Mackaye, have a tendancy to sound a bit like a hipsters urban musical. The lyrics seem to only add to that scenario, and where Guy Piccioto singing them is one thing this is just another and it graaates. You Won't Feel A Thing, however totally rocks, as do several of the others.
Try before you buy.
