Gold Coaster Australian band Evol Walks releases a powerful out of the box musical experience that doesn’t sound of feel like anything else…enchantingly catchy, “Sleeping With A Ghost” is a dark acoustic ballad that incorporates heavy storytelling elements that adds a feeling of a soundtrack…it’s a hybrid musical beast and it works perfectly, hitting a wide range of emotional bullseyes…
Moving far away from their deep earth-shattering heavy drop tuning riffs and powerful musical energy, Evol Walks takes a completely different path than their usual…and we’re glad they did that, because the result is a mesmerizing piece of musical masterpiece.
…and the interesting part is that this song is a reimagining of an older song they had that shared the same name…but now, it’s been almost exactly a year and Evol Walks has been exploring more and more, evolving and transcending, the result is a completely different mood, with dark acoustic melodies, soaring vocals that feels both angelic and devilish at the same time.
“Sleeping With A Ghost”, the reimagination, is a wonderful piece of acoustic craftsmanship…
…it starts with an amazing-sounding acoustic guitar, with some melodious violin textures…
…then Leah Martin-Brown vocals join the story, gracing the music and our ears with a stunning performance…
The song leans on the acoustic guitar for rhythm and also some melodies and musical fills, while the violin is strategically scattered for maximum emotional impact…speaking of which, the backing choi-ike vocals also hit hard and hit deep.
The song follows a familiar structure of verse and chorus, but with a very unusual musical composition, many instantly haunting melodies, and an amazing vocal performance that will stick with you for weeks to come.
We wish Evol Walks all the best in life, we can’t wait to hear more of what they are working on…and after experiencing the acoustic reimagination of “Sleeping With A Ghost”, we actually want more of that…please?
Cheers!
