The Beat Within by Evvol

Since returning from European live runs with both Peaches and YACHT, Berlin-based darkwave-pop duo Evvol have spent the past few months holed up in their Kreuzberg studio writing the follow-up to last year’s critically acclaimed debut ‘Eternalism.’ ‘Physical L.U.V’ is the result - a wonderfully atmospheric 5 track EP set for release via !K7 Records in May.

Formed in 2014 from the ashes of previous musical projects and having rekindled their fractured relationship, Evvol - AKA Irish singer Julie Chance and Australian multi-instrumentalist Jane Arnison - embarked on a new and revitalised direction. Blending textured, atmospheric guitars, ominous synths, vicious beats and layered glacier vocals, debut full-length ‘Eternalism’ was the sound of commercial pop fused with arty electronica, dripping with industrial charm and evoking Berlin’s seedy underbelly. It quickly won them a dedicated fan base, selling out debut shows in Berlin and London and winning support from The Guardian, Noisey, NME, The Fader and i-D. Their stage setting is a dense fog of moody lighting, dry ice haze and angular silhouettes; a fittingly mysterious canvas for their rich moodscapes. Under a former moniker they have previously toured the world with Austra, and shared the stage with Grimes, Peaches and TRUST.

‘Physical L.U.V’ is a dense, ethereal and very personal EP, documenting the many physical and emotional comforts and constraints of love. Written, arranged, produced and engineered entirely themselves, it combines hypnotic vocals with electronic beats that ebb and flow with metronomic consistency.
