Free Music Review: yeah, it's that good
Hit: 5 Stars

The Evens, a new band featuring Fugazi's Ian Mackaye and The Warmers' Amy Farrina, continues some of the sounds explored on the last few Fugazi albums (notably The Argument and The Instrument Soundtrack). With just guitar, drums, and vocals, The Evens create an engaging sound that can be spooky, emotional, ethereal, catchy, and hard driving, led by Mackaye's heavily rhythmic guitar work and Farrina's distinctive drumming. It's the powerful rhythms that separate The Evens from all the moody, downbeat, indie-folk acts out there today. Songs like the excellent "All These Governors" and "You Won't Feel A Thing" could actually be Fugazi songs if you only added some distortion, barking, and Guy Picciotto making funny noises in the background. The singing here is mostly restrained, with Farrina and Mackaye sharing vocal duties and often singing in unison for an atmospheric effect. This works beautifully on quiet numbers like "Sara Lee" and "On The Face Of It," which appears in a slightly different (and better) version than it did on the Protest Records compilation. Many, though not all, of The Evens' lyrics are political in nature and make numerous references to the D.C. area. It's nice to hear them keeping the Dischord feel alive and not being afraid to write politically charged songs when hardly any other similar bands are doing that anymore. But then again, The Evens aren't your average hip indie act. Who would have thought a couple of middle-aged people from D.C. could make an album that rocks harder, better, and with more meaning than pretty much anything else out there and getting rave reviews from Pitchfork and Spin.

Evens Poster

THE EVENS are a band from Washington, DC. IAN MACKAYE (FUGAZI, MINOR THREAT) plays baritone guitar and AMY FARINA (THE WARMERS) plays drums. They both sing. Their songs are multifaceted yet efficient; straightforward yet sublime; you ll hear a new detail with each listen. Twelve tracks recorded at Inner Ear Studios in the summer of 2004 and mastered at Silver Sonya soon thereafter.
