Description
Their first full-length since 2018, Reverse Light Years emerges from lockdown as one of Even’s most accomplished records to date.
Described as very much being the product of lockdown, the difficult two years we’ve lived through have made it hard for the trio to emerge from their homes to hone their craft. While a handful of their annual Christmas Even shows did go ahead last year, it’s been difficult for the band – comprising Ash Naylor on guitar and vocals, Matthew Cotter on percussion, and Wally Kempton on bass – to hit up the studio as much as they would have preferred.
“A double album is a bold artistic mindset as much as it is just a longer than usual collection of songs,” Naylor adds. “The aspirations for the band can be either lofty or very basic, or both… Once you’ve committed to the idea of a double, it frees you up to add songs that may be shorter or longer than you might normally place on an album…”
