Transcend into a wonderful world full of imagination within the soundscapes of Evocation.
Kick drums and illuminating sonics lead you to an “Emerging Path” in the near distance. A sense of calmness washes over you as the song plays with a beautiful piano melody. Memories flood your mind as the title track brings a sense of belonging. Nurturing elements are woven into the track, giving listeners a warm embrace of sound. “AlterCast” relies heavily on the cello and piano while playing in the realms of distorted electricity layered within.
“Jak’s Odyssey” continues our journey with melodic piano chords washing over you again. Each key elevates you to a more relaxed state of mind until it whiplashes you with hyper-speed drums. Live instruments gracefully slow your speed back down, allowing you to catch your breath. To bring the storyline to a full 360, “Luminary” serenades you with beautiful violin and other live instruments that once again resemble a fond memory.
Listeners will feel recharged after Evocation graces their ears. From its chill-invoking live instrument elements to its more synthesized sonics, this EP is sure to allow the much-needed space for lightheartedness and healing to thrive.
