Evils

These Wild Plains have come to haunt the summer winds with Evils. There’s a shimmer to these tunes. The melodies flirt with optimism, but the songs themselves are about reality. In the real world, sunshine eventually gives way to clouds. We’re left with three songs that paint in never-ending shades of gray, where contrast and texture control the mood. These are black and white snapshots of the dog days. Revel in the twang, bends and warm fuzz of These Wild Plains while you can. The bright colors of autumn will be here before you know it.

Simplicity and repetition can be powerful in the right hands. They can make a moment feel bigger. A melody more memorable. A song more endearing. “She’s So Wild” is the latest from Chris Keene’s Dream Generation solo project. It is bigger, more memorable and more endearing than it ought to be. It’s exactly what it needs to be.

Team up Ruby Rose Fox’s vocals with a ripper of a tune and you’ve got a song worthy of the repeat button. “Blue Angel” layers hand claps, big backing vocals, ample amounts of reverb and a touch of fuzz on top of a pocket groove. The whole thing is dipped in the most soulful vocals found on either side of the Charles for a number that melts into your ears and fills your heads with a snappy sound. You’ll be humming it for days.
