Search - James Evans :: Need

NEED, the debut album from James Evans, offers contemporary music a voice that is both engaging and detached in its approach to unveiling the complexities of wrought, human emotion. Evans creates his own aesthetic, mixing vivid mood and sensual lyrics with sonic exploration that mirrors the investigation we experiences humans. Borrowing heavily from the musical styling of Sonic Youth, Jeff Buckley and Morrissey, Evans is creating a sound that is accessible to a mainstream audience and filled with enough invention to satisfy the modern art-rock elitist. It is a contradiction that works. This 10 song collection abandons convention, creating unique song structure and unmarked melodies. Multiple performances at clubs from the Philadelphia area to Georgia, Michigan, Ohio and Massachusetts, provided audiences with a diverse mix of range of alternative to progressive rock. This four piece band offers something for everybody.
