Glasgow's EVOL
formed only last year and are already on their second EP. 'Close'
displays
a range of influences from the forbidding guitar soundscapes of
Mogwai (Open)
through to PJ Harvey at her most ferocious (the pulsating Tired)
and a whole range of 90s alternative noise-makers, from grunge
(Witchtrain
borrows heavily from Hole's Plump)
to epic post-rock (Close).
It
would be easy to lump EVOL in with other grunge revivalists such as
Yuck, but in truth they're a little more diverse and a little too
dark. This EP sounds like a stepping stone on to great things to come
rather than the finished article, although it's still a thoroughly
enjoyable ride. The intensity of the racket they make and the
powerful female vocal are signs that they may be compelling live
experience too. Ones to keep an eye on.
