Music News - Eva Prowse releases sophomore album 'Humid Nights'
26 August 2016 - 0 Comments
Wellington folk/indie/alt-pop artist Eva Prowse releases her sophomore solo album Humid Nights on August 26th 2016.
Humid Nights is a MIDI-pop album inspired by the awkwardness of life and
music software, growing up in the 80s, 90s and today, drunken fights in hot
countries, small towns and big cities, bad decisions and instant regret.
Says Prowse, “the music of my childhood was the main inspiration – I just
wanted to make some catchy pop tunes, but then got slightly obsessed with MIDI
and bizaare, often cheesy, and definitely uncool, synth sounds…”
The majority of the album was recorded in dingy bedrooms in dingy flats in
Wellington, where the conditions were in effect the opposite of a dreamy humid
night…
The resulting collection of songs conjure the likes of Laurie Anderson, Kate Bush,
Talking Heads, and HAIMwith catchy 80’s synth breaks, pristine syncopated vocals and layered
harmonies.
The multifarious and refreshing subject matter ranges from a celebration of the
female characters in Game Of Thrones (No
Man), a lamentation of an uncool kid wrapped up in an homage to
the Spice Girls (Wannabe)
to the decline of a relationship while loading up on long island ice teas in
Cambodia (Humid
Nights).
The album was mixed by Lee
Prebble at Surgery
Studios and mastered by
Mike Gibson at Munki
Studios with contributions from Craig Terris, Tom Watson and The
Phoenix Foundation’s Samuel
Flynn Scott and Tom
Callwood.
Humid Nightsis now available for purchase from iTunes, Bandcamp and all good digital outlets. Physical copies available from Bandcamp and
upcoming live shows.
