Victorian indie band The Evening Cast have given us our first taste of their forthcoming EP Lake with the single “Factory.”
It’s a great track anchored by beautiful vocals and a great electric guitar riff. It didn’t immediately captivate me, but I found myself listening to it, then putting it on again and again to catch all its nuances. It doesn’t exactly grab you around the throat but it does hook you in.
The Evening Cast seem to be working with all the right people to ensure they make their mark. The EP was produced by Marty Brown (Clare Bowditch, Art of Fighting) and mastered in New York City by Joe LaPorta (Bjork, Foo Fighters).
They’re also about to play support act for Clare Bowditch and Oh Mercy, so if you have tickets to their Geelong shows make sure you turn up early. The Evening Cast are already gaining a reputation as a solid live act, so their sets shouldn’t disappoint.
Here are the places you can see them in the flesh over the coming months.
20 September 2012 – The Brunswick Hotel, Brunswick
19 October 2012 – Bended Elbow, Geelong (supporting Oh Mercy)
