Vowel Movement
The Evens - On the Face of It
Ian MacKaye in crazy two-piece softee rock SHOCKER! But I kid, Ian. This song by the Evens is extremely pretty, and although the quality is not super-great, you can hear Amy (from the Warmers) and Ian's voices intertwining with Ian's baritone guitar, and the shimmering wall of hot metal feedback that glows just behind their harmonies. This song may or not be on their upcoming full-length debut that will be released on Dischord, for which the Evens recorded 12 songs at Inner Ear, in D.C. Another tidbit for craw-sticking: The Evens appeared on the "punk-rock children's TV show" (see, the modifier there is a bit weird- are the children punk-rock, (I'm imagining three year-olds with liberty spikes) or is the show itself made in a punk-rock spirit? They need to clear that shit up), Pancake Mountain, on which they performed their specially-written-for-the-show song, "Vowel Movement" (such a great title). You can watch that performance here (requires Quicktime). Hopefully their LP will be out in late fall or early '05. Oddly enough, I love this song, but despise Fugazi like nothing on this earth. (N.B. TO FUGAZI fans: you are pitiful). Hatemail, begin!
