Sophisticated, sleek and steely the Irish/Australian Evvol duo move between dystopian cyborg love and dance floor veneers on their dry-ice machine atmospheric Eternalism album. Almost inhuman, like the siren calls from some artificially intelligent sentinels cooing into the future cityscape of a Blade Runner-esque Berlin, Evvol make nocturnally woozy and minimal glacial synth pop music. Both captivatingly slick and broodingly plaintive in equal measure, their visionary soundscapes pitch modern love to an anxious millennial generation.

Brooding souls of the night the Evvol duo of Julie Chance and Jon Dark find hidden sultry melodies and vapourous swooning pop in the dark recesses of a cold, steely, cityscape. An Irish/Australian duo based in the cybernetic romance of Berlin, Evvol have built a name for themselves sharing stages with Grimes, Austra and Peaches. Using a subtler plotted form of synth blues and lamentable electronica their sound slickly shimmers like liquid between halcyon 80s dry-ice atmospherics and cyborg soul love.’

Evvol – Eternalism: Dubliner Julie Chance, Sydney native Jon Dark and French drummer Valentin Plessy have been creating dark wave electro pop since 2010, previously as Kool Thing and, since the beginning of this year, as Evvol. Under that moniker comes the refreshing sound of ‘Eternalism’, combining Krautrock melodies with ’80s synth-pop. Next stages in a band’s life are meant to feel like new chapters, but Evvol have pretty much opened a new book.

The Berlin-based duo have reconvened, and a new vitality is sparking. Their debut album ‘Eternalism’ expands on that with moments of both introspection and total release. A new found positive energy radiates from the sounds on this record, with every crack between the synths, drums, vocals and guitar revealing complexities in its minimalism.
