Self-Evident: Direct
Ambient at times and chaotic at others, Self-Evident takes a real
stab at making different and emotional alternative music. These
fine musicians are serious about their craft and just as serious
about the feeling they put into it. Those feelings are hard to describe:
the vocalists alternate between screaming and whispering, neither
sounding bad; the strings alternate between even-keeled jazz finger
work and distorted grind-core bursts, both of which retain a yearning,
empty feeling, as though reaching for something drifting away; the
drums are perfect, breaking the rhythm just where you'd want 'em
to. I wish more bands had the intensity displayed on Self-Evident's
CD. Lyrics go as follows: "you deliver indeliberate subtleties
that scream at me." Self-Evident's music seems to swirl.
Minneapolis is a richer city for having Self-Evident play in its
local dives. I would like to see Self-Evident share a stage with
System & Station and Planes of Fame (two of my favorite bands).
