Elkhorn – Distances LP (MARKDOWN) Online

This is lyric driven and highly evocative, and purpose flows through the current that electrifies every moment of this record. There s nothing fun here, but there s plenty to confide in, and there are poignant moments, times when this album battles on like a warrior encased in armour, yielding a weapon of truth. The music candidly conveys stories of bad luck, broken glory, flaws, and emotional breakdowns. Eve 6 has a knack of delivering lyrics which do not become lost in the buzz-saw guitars and loudness. It s an unorthodox record playing out for the lost souls, the downtrodden, the people who curl up in a ball in their smoked out rooms, their flawed palaces. The music helps, though, it soothes the thumping headaches, the drastic situations, and Eve 6 is a brave outfit, one that doesn t fall at the first hurdle. Hyper Relevisation is an album unconventional in its pursuit of acclaim, and it s a straggly affair, one that heavily presses on themes. – Tuned Up
