In the time since self-evident’s 2005 dpg debut, Epistemology, the Minneapolis band has said goodbye to its drummer of 9 years, Brian Heitzman. Taking his place is Claire de Lune (Deep Elm) drummer Ben Johnston. His influence is apparent from the opening note on their new self-titled album, SELF-EVIDENT. Gone are the sprawling, ebb & flow sounds of the band’s previous efforts. Instead, the band has replaced it with a tight, economical, and singular album.
SELF-EVIDENT is the band’s most polished and complete album to date. The band’s ability to blend math, post-rock, and punk/hardcore into a concise, angular, and melodic sound is an increasingly rare thing these days.
In 2007 & 2008, the band toured the Midwest, East Coast, and Southwest extensively and has recently finished the recording of their 5th album, endings, this past April and will be released in Fall 2009 with extensive touring to follow.
