Following in the footsteps of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and Allo Darlin’, Evans The Death will be releasing their debut album via Fortuna POP! early next year. Before that though, they release their eagerly anticipated second single ‘I’m So Unclean’ on 6 September. You can see the ravishing video for this track here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZTebot8rJU
Evans the Death make frenetic and infectious punk pop which exudes the kind of unbridled charisma, intelligence, and runaway energy that promises a singularly exciting future for the band. Comprising Dan Moss (guitar, vocals), Olly Moss (bass), Katherine Whitaker (vocals, keys), Rob Mitson (drums), and Matt Gill (guitar), and named after the undertaker in Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk Wood, they’re one of the most refreshing and exhilarating new groups around.
Following the release of their instantly acclaimed debut single ‘Threads’, and a series of celebrated live shows around the country, Evans the Death have been given extensive airtime on BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6Music, as well being made John Kennedy’s ‘Xposure Big One’ on XFM. ‘I’m So Unclean’ documents with dry humour and bathos the contraction of the world and its contours which characterises the experience of personal breakdown: ‘My dressing gown is my choice of apparel for this season/so I stare at the cat for a while/the minutes have changed into miles, and I’m too tired to walk…’ Breathless guitars, a devastating and thunderous bassline, and soaring unraveling vocals combine to hint at something akin to the Gun Club meets Prolapse meets Elastica but arriving somewhere else entirely; a hyper-smart searing pop single which can’t fail to ratchet up the excitement as to what the band will do next.
