Comment: Evan, Karen, and Dylan is a trio from Guelph, Ontario (the hometown for Memoryhouse either) who have been active since the spring of 2010 and having issued two 2 EPs and one split before their first proper long player. However, these new 11 tracks have a persuasive drift alongside an idiosyncratic long line between indie pop and glo-fi music, on the other side, at times it can be considered the acoustic version (with vocals) of such recherche post-rock bands as The Dylan Group or Mice Parade. Savory guitar strums with fine-grained synth chords (without any kind of blissful, chillwave-esque synth progressions) constitute a solid background for all those murmuring vocals by the female and male side co-operatively laced effortlessly with each other subsequently evoking a beatific sense getting above the usual standards in indie music. All in all, I got a sequent favorite band from Guelph (by the way, Mathemagic`s Evan (Euteneier) used to be not the same person with Evan from Memoryhouse).
