Self-Evident- What We Sound Like (Doom Nibbler 2000)

My guess is that the boys in Self-evident are pretty serious fellers. Their lyrics tend to be short and to the point, and often seem to be the type of internal micro-conversations we all have when we're too confused to talk to anyone else. The music, too, is spare and somewhat introspective, with occasional bouts of squealing rock abandon. While Self-evident isn't really adding anything new to the classic guitar/bass/drums/serious boy singer equation, their music is consistently interesting and well played, with lots of detailed rhythmic interaction between the players. The singer's voice is fine, if a little reserved. Self-evident is an interesting band -- I can't help but wonder what would happen if they let go a little bit more and opened themselves up to some of their less rational impulses.
