Evan Voytas is an LA musician who just released a brand new song called, "Sad, as Hearts Can Be" which is a intense synth song, with really soft almost dream like vocals, and buzzing bass lines. This is a preview of what is to come, a LP and a video, which we will be certainly waiting for. Evan Voytas - Sad, Like Hearts Can Be [...]

Tonight at McWorld four bands will be playing that, individually at some point, I have declared the best band at a show. Prepare to be taken out of your everyday. We have two locals and two welcome foreigners. : Battlehooch :: Evan Voytas ::: Pizza! :::: Wampire 9pm; $5 Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts, Tobacco and The Hood Internet will not be playing McWorld tonight but you can catch them at the Echo if you so desire.

Das schlummert schon so lange in meiner Inbox, ich bin froh es endlich loszuwerden: Evan Voytas Single 'I Run With You, Spirit Animal' mit Video und MP3. Das Video hat Evan übrigens nicht selbst gedreht, sondern wurde von Carlos Charlie Perez produziert, der auch für die Clips auf http://www.ithinkuracontra.com verantwortlich ist. Cooler Pullover! MP3: Evan Voytas - I Run With You, Spirit Animal ( ysi )

Evan Voytas is an LA based singer/multi-instrumentalist. A couple weeks ago his reps sent me his latest single/video for 'I Run with You, Spirit Animal' and for some reason I tried to ignore it. Then I found myself humming the chorus in my head time and time again till I finally realized, it's a pretty damn good pop song! Hope you guys aren't as stubborn as me and accept it for the great little number it is. MP3: [...]

Comparing one band with another is a mindless, but pretty much necessary evil. As a hack keyboard-basher, I try to avoid it as much as I can, but sometimes you're left with no other option: how else to describe bande du jour The XX as anything other than 'drab Zero Seven copyists '?* So when I heard Evan Voytas described as 'the American M832 by both those who have read his PR company's press release and those who haven't, my interest was piqued and repulsed at [...]
Typical story. Boy meets board, boy falls for board, boy changes clothes a dozen times behind board, boy wears chicken mask. Whether it's OSB with a veneer, COMPREG, MDF, laminate particleboard or - ooh la la - actual hardwood, Evan Voytas is giving us on of our generation's great love stories.

What the fuccck is a Round-Up? AN Definition: Round Up [ round ] [ uhp ] (n.) - Is my way of trying to keep with life and music at the same time for the next little while . For a more detailed explanation: Overwhelmed with school I'm forced to do round-ups for the next month or so. I don't have the time to individually wrap up some of these artists below... or those in the coming weeks for that matter. For that I apologize [...]

Singer/songwriter/multi-instru mentalist Evan Voytas paints mystical quality of Americana in his songs. This ain't no Bruce Springsteen Americana. Rather, it captures a dreamy west coast pop landscape, where the young and fearless look up to the stars above and follow their dreams into the unknown. Currently residing in Los Angeles, Voytas beautifully captures the idealisms of the Hollywood mythology in the American dream. I'm not sure if he meant to do this as his songs are basically about "feeling good" or "feeling bad," according to his myspace . The tinny synth-pop layers create within [...]

I'm a big fan of unclassifiable music, especially when it sounds really nice. The great part about music that doesn't fit into the normal parameters of any discernible genre is that I don't have dissect it, or explain my reasons for giving it high praise...I can just say that its fucking innovative, and that you've never heard anything else quite like it...So I'll just get right to it, here's the new one from Evan Voytas ...unclassifiable and outstanding.

Evan Voytas är namnet på en LA-baserad multi-instrumentalist tillika skönsångare som trots sin rätt ringa ålder hunnit födas i Pennsylvania, flytta till Harlem, sedan odla skägg och flytta ut i öknen, sedan flytta tillbaka och raka av sig skägget, lira gitarr för diverse popkonstellationer och då också turnera över hela världen, och sedan flytta tillbaka till Pennsylvania, börjat spela in egen musik och sedan slutligen bosätta sig i just Los Angeles där nu karriären börjat ta fart. Det där blev lite krångligt allting, men resultatet kan vi säga är det här, feelgood-låten I run with you, spirit animal [...]

Every show we do we have a lot of pride for the bands that play. They are not just bands but they are a part of FMLY and McWorld has been the best example of this. We're had the privileged of sharing our shows with some incredible bands. Some times a show will come together with some of FMLY's closest members. That's exactly what will be happening on March 25th at McWorld. If you haven't seen any of these bands live, you are in for a great surprise. Time to bring the party. : Tobacco [...]

Das Fistelstimmchen und der Nerd-Faktor grösser nie waren. Evan Voytas schlägt sie alle. Der White-Boy-Soul-Disco-Pop von Evan Voytas wurde von Charlie Perez im Video zu "I Run With You, Spirit Animal" witzig und charmant in Szene gesetzt. Selbiger Regisseur zeichnete übrigens auch für die Promo-Videos zu Vampire Weekends "Contra" verantwortlich. (via: Stereogum)

If FMLY ever made a pin-up calendar, Evan Voytas would most likely take the initial January photo. Then probably February through centerfold. Basically, we think this video is amazingly adorable and think everyone needs taste. Directing props go to Carlos Charlie Perez who just wrapped up shoot with a new Vampire Weekend tune.
