Evangeline

Melbourne singer-songwriter Evangeline has today released her dark-pop EP I Think About It Way Too Much, an equally enchanting and haunting concept record released independently via her label Sad Boy Records. Dark and dramatic, I Think About It Way Too Much sees Evangeline narrate a weekend in the life of, chronicling the chemical and emotional highs and lows that take place. It it self-aware, yet full of contradictions, inspired by real-life memories, feelings and traumas. Each track allows Evangeline’s vulnerability to shine as she wrestles with feelings of social anxiety and not fitting in, constantly battling with the voices in her head, and sometimes managing to escape them. Minimal, hypnotic beats paired with Evangeline’s delicate and airy vocals create a sense of intimacy on the EP, however flourishes of distorted and glitchy production across the five tracks add a touch of experimentalism to the record, adding a warped and heavy feeling as it progresses. She has drawn on inspiration from musical idols such as Bring Me The Horizon and The Notorious B.I.G. to create unfiltered, honest pop music – even if the messages she aims to convey aren’t always easy to digest, especially within the pop sphere.
