Other Victorians

Evening, comprised of a cab driver, tailor, designer, sound engineer and bartender, began playing music together seven years ago in San Francisco. Christopher Appelgren, Lookout! Records president, became a fan after seeing several shows and agreed to release their full-length album, recorded with producer Alex Newport (At the Drive-In, Mars Volta, The Pattern). The record is original and au courant and ferociously smart. Their sound draws on the blues, electronic, classical, pop, and rock; Patrik Sklenar's tight and angular approach and Lee Burik 's loose and rich lines are the basis to an intertwined tension, while Matt Rist' emotive vocals, Zach Brewer's hook-laden bass, and Brian Kim's kinetic drumming add to the rich sound. For fans of Enon, Interpol, Blonde Redhead, and Radiohead.
