Evan Wright Shares Mellow Indie Psychedelic Album Sound From Out the Window (Solitaire Recordings)
I don't know about you, but I tend to have a soundtrack for each season, something to guide each mini-era of my life. The latest era has been defined by the way the sunlight filters through my windows in the afternoon, the cicadas chirping outside, and constant questioning of how the summer slipped away so fast.
Evan Wright's latest album Sound From Out the Window (Solitaire Recordings) has been the perfect soundtrack for my end-of-summer-existentialism, with his twangy psychedelic melodies guiding the season's change. The New York-based musician's smooth vocals take us on a melancholic stroll through nostalgia, a pained longing for past times that can never come back, but one that doesn't wallow in self-pity.
The album evokes warm and calming tones, bearing a likeness to the work of Andy Shauf, Kurt Vile, and early HOMESHAKE. Mellow guitars and gentle lyrics explore themes of friendships ending and relationships falling apart, yet leave the listener feeling comforted and almost uplifted by the coziness of Evan's sound.
