We fell utterly in love with these two after collaborating on Trust The Bus and qUuest wiRx! We are elated they will kick off our performances on November 3rd at 8:30!!
Minimalist rock duo Evil English offer a raw, esoteric soundscape from their home in Durham, North Carolina. Vocalist Lindsey Elcessor’s romantic lyricism weaves worlds of beauty with that of loss, modernity, and nature in a subconscious politic akin to authors of magical realism. Her narratives are supported by a garage rock approach to folk-inspired songwriting, alternatively utilizing overdriven guitar and an echo laden Casiotone to bring old soul songs to life for the modern age. Behind the kit, Rob Chamberlain lays a solid foundation of sparse, low end percussion and synthesizers. Emphasizing an otherworldly negative space, his contributions are underscored by familiar organic sounds, ornamented with bizarre flourishes of digital light. With a sound often compared to the gothic rock vanguard of the late 60’s, the two offer a new perspective on independent rock music. Evil English’s forthcoming debut, The Tallest Towers, is due out in Spring 2018.
