With their second album, The Evens delve further into their own musical backgrounds and come out brandishing a shiny gem of agit-pop, building on the warmth of their debut with a robust, confident record. MacKaye has matured as a songwriter, broadening his scope without losing focus, and he and Farina here offer up a perfectly-formed piece of songwriting. The album was entirely self-recorded in the basement of Dischord House in the summer of 2006, which is reflected in its intimate, lyrical quality.
Release Date: October 23rd 2006
