At the end of the year it often seems like I'm too busy with the big albums of the year and end of forgetting some lower profile releases. Here are some of the albums that we think you may have missed, but are still pretty awesome... 10. Hiss Golden Messenger - Poor Moon (Tompkins Square) [...]
In Space is really the perfect name for this sophomore effort from Paul Erik Lipp, aka Evening Man. The one-man electronic music machine has returned with the same densely-layered soundscapes that wowed on The Last Night nearly a little over 18 months ago. But what is most impressive about this nine-song LP is the room [...]
Here is my list of the songs I liked best in 2011, which will be the last one we offer here. I only adhered to three rules with this list, really: 1. The song had to be officially released in 2011, 2. I could only select one song for any artist, and 3. The list [...]
You've heard the album , you've read the rave reviews , now see the man himself. Evening Man will be making his live debut on August 7th at Church in Boston, part of an evening of high culture brought to you by your friends and family at BEB. In keeping with the theme, the night will be a showcase of local talent, from the turntable wizardry of Fens and Soren Jahan, to the spaced-out soundscapes of Sonnymoon . Locally grown, fresh as hell, limited seating. $8/18+ Doors open at 7 [...]
Following in the footsteps of musicians like Iron and Wine and Bon Iver, Paul Erik Lipp is gracing the music world performing as Evening Man with the digital debut album The Last Night . The album is available exclusively from Bandcamp.com as a pay-what-you-think-it’s-wort h download, which seems to be another growing trend in the industry.

Here at Folk Hive, we tend to live in an indie folk bubble, surrounded by clouds and candy drops and banjos. And fucking unicorns. Occasionally, something else will roll onto the radar though, something that I wouldn't necessarily have found on my own, and sometimes that thing is so goddamn awesome that bursting our comfortable little folk bubble wide open feels like the right thing to do, in order to introduce you, dear reader, to something you may dig and normally probably wouldn't find here. Outside The Bubble is a recurring feature here at [...]
Today's been a weird day for me. I woke up to find out that one of my favorite bloggers, Zach Hart of We Listen For You, was calling it quits . WLFY was my introduction to music blogs, and while a lot of people have been taking his leave in stride, I'm still feeling a bit lost. Whether we agreed or not, WLFY is one of the most intellectually honest blogs out there. They were never afraid to call artists/bloggers out when they found fault. More importantly, they were one of the few blogs that strove to [...]
I have a treat of a Jawbox cover for everyone. It's from Evening Man, who has released one of my favorite albums this year (here's the album review I wrote for The Last Night ). If you haven't checked out The Last Night , go to Bandcamp right now and immerse yourself. There's a pretty neat little story behind the song choice. Jawbox was the first band that Paul ever saw live when they were opening for Stone Temple Pilots on tour. The original Savory has a grungey sound to [...]
Paul Erik Lipp, aka Evening Man, lives a world where our most intimate stories of love and loss are soundtracked with danceable beats and powerful synthesizers. Lipp populates the nine tracks on The Last Night with so many electro-pop elements that it is damn-near impossible not to be sucked into his vortex of rhythmic storytelling. [...]
Evening Man is Paul Erik Lipp by day. When the sun sets, he is Evening Man, offering a blend of exciting electronic concepts around his new album The Last Night . We have a song from it below, so read on, music lovers! Evening Man The Last Night 04 Entremise (1).mp3 Evening Man - Entremiese Download read more
Its been quite a while since I posted on any artists recording out of my home state of Connecticut , but I'm glad to be doing so today. Paul Erik Lipp recently released "Last Night" under the moniker of Evening Man, available free on bandcamp . The album was recorded at the Pomfret School almost entirely by Lipp himself; he provides vocals, instrumentals, producing, mixing, and mastering in what comes together as a brilliant first album. Before I continue, I have to mention Ian over at 1146 miles - he's been pushing the album pretty hard, and I [...]
Off the LP "The Last Night" ( Get the full album on Bandcamp ) Thanks to Bears Eat Beats for the heads up
Welcome to the world of Connecticut's Paul Erik Lipp. It's a world that is controlled by his alter ego - Evening Man - and it's dark place, soundtracked by songs containing bursts of light and magic. Lipp is our gracious ringmaster in this circus of nocturnal emotions that mold his first full-length album, The Last...

You were a runaway I did what was asked of me Often we have a really great story about how we first discovered some of our favorite bands. Maybe you were having a really terrible day and decided to give that copy of OK Computer your friend gave you a spin. Maybe you were really drunk in some basement watching some slightly crazy looking guy twist knobs and push pedals [...]
there's no greater testament to my changing musical tastes (well, not so much changing as expanding) than the last night from evening man (paul erik lipp). his music, which would likely be categorized as experimental or some kind of electronic-pop, is actually finding it's way into my daily playlist. the album, which is completely recorded, mixed and mastered by paul himself, explores so many sounds that, until now, were foreign to me...i can't help but be interested. the opener, 'telegraph peak' (below), drew me in upon first listen. i just kind of stared off into the distance, [...]

This afternoon I will become the Evening Man, Who does the things most people only dream about. -Frederick Seidel, “Evening Man” I have to be moved to write an album review. They take time to listen and write. It's not just laziness on my part. I have to reach the point where I'm comfortable even offering a written effort that I feel is doing justice to the the time and effort that the artist(s) puts in. It's those rare records that I turn on and sit down and listen and go get a snack [...]
