Optimism In The Face Of An Impending Doom In Evan Myall’s New EP

Thu Nov 22 2018

The latest offering from California-based Evan Myall is something very different. Often very contemporary, while also managing to tip its hat at the past. ‘Basic Gardening’ is a genuine and surprising EP, full of intrigue and details not seen twice.

There is something strangely familiar about the music that makes up the four tracks of Innes Wilsons ‘Seaview EP’. A comforting hug of casualness and ease while somehow also containing a depth of storytelling and detail. Almost like Iron and Wine or David Gray and the way their slower acoustic music comes across, especially on […]
