Evenings has been an artist that unites the writers at CitR for a long time now. His 2011 record, Lately , had us on the floor, literally, begging for life to always be this damn good. Sort of. Recently Evenings announced that, as he puts it, he would be “laying low”. The world does a little cry. Now me and Evenings might have slightly different opinions on what constitutes “laying Low”, but I’d assume that to most of the world it doesn’t mean; release a six minute, part soundscape, part [...]
![Evenings - 'Stays' [Listen]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4708580_lg.jpg)
Groundbreaking and always captivating label Friend of Friends posses an ethos exactly as the name suggests, in their own words "the most effective way (yet traditional way!) people learn about new music: through Friends.." The benevolent lot are home to acts such as Shlomo and Groundislava, and with forthcoming release Show Me the Future have invited seven talented producers to do what they do best, with the result seven tracks of intense winter soundtracked beauty. Nathan Broaddus provides the track here under the monker of Evenings with 'Stays', though also featured is the [...]
Cast your mind back to August 2011, dear internet reader. I know that's like the modern version of asking what you were doing during the moon landing, so let us jig your memory a bit. Back then, NY-via-Charlottesville producer Evenings dropped the brilliant 'Lo-Velo' from his Bandcamp-released Lately LP and, let us tell you, it was pretty damn good. And now here he is again in the year 2013 with new track 'Stays', a 6 min-long sonic daydream of semi-consciousness, forever dipping in and out of focus. Take [...]

"Don't call it a comeback" is usually a phrase uttered self-protectively by musicians who are very much coming back from some degree of obscurity. Dr. Dre wasn't exactly absent during the seven-year stretch between his first and second albums ("California Love," anybody?), but his 1999 sophomore release 2001 is littered with lines like "Ladies pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off/ How, nigga? My last album was The Chronic ." If he ever gets around to releasing Detox , it'll surely be stacked with similar "I never went away" rhetoric (and, undoubtedly, lyrics about headphones.) [...]

A few weeks ago I went to Brooklyn for Mister Lies' Dionysian 73 release party. Following some amazing performances from Beat Culture and Evenings, Mister Lies debuted a slew of new material that showcased a change in direction for the producer. While gorgeously atmospheric music still came through with his performances of tracks like "Wavenly" and "Cleam", Mister Lies' set had a clear and unexpected emphasis on house music. "Align" is the first single to drop from his upcoming album Mowgli and it showcases the dance-minded shift in Mister Lies' production and songwriting. Despite the four [...]

On their third album, Washington D.C.'s the Evens prove major changes aren't necessary when great songwriting, strong messages, and tight playing are the main ingredients in your recipe. WATCH THE REVIEW
Sorry we're a little late with the New Release Spotlight this week. The holidays are kind of a music industry deadzone so I really wanted to dig deep and give a lot of bands I wasn't as familiar with a chance. I hope you'll do the same! Bust out those Thanksgiving leftovers and give a listen to: _ The Pharmacy- Stoned & Alone [Old Flame] Quick Take: This is my essential pick [...]
It's hard to imagine any project of Ian MacKaye's going underrated, but there it is. Growing up as a punk kid in Baltimore, in the D.C. scene's shadow, in the '90s, that guy exerted a crazy amount of power over my imagination and the imaginations of just about everyone I knew. Entire networks of kids viewed him with some combination of awe, scorn, grudging respect, curiosity, and, more than anything else, utter starry-eyed adoration. It wasn't just the music, though that was almost uniformly great, and it wasn't just the public persona, though that stood in stark contrast to just [...]
Release dates on holiday weeks are usually quite slow. As you would expect, today's list of new releases is indeed short, yet there are still a handful of interesting new albums to lure you into record stores before the holiday shopping masses come flooding in. Among them is the long awaited follow up to The Evens ' 2006 LP, Get Evens . Once again on The Odds , husband and wife duo Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi) and Amy Farina (Warmers) pair up on what our Music Director, Don Yates, calls "an often-gripping set of skeletal post-hardcore, [...]

For reasons that I won't go in to right now - for fear of completely losing my way - there seems to be fewer and fewer times when a song genuinely stops me in my tracks. Maybe its wistful romanticism on my part, or maybe it's because of the cultural shift in the way we consume art and media these days, but I rarely seem to find myself dumb-struck my music quite as often as I used to. There have been less than a handful of moments this year where I have been completely overwhelmed upon first hearing a song; but then [...]
