Everfound

If you tire of music that sounds like it was birthed out of some mass-market factory, then you’ll like – no you’ll adore – Everfound. The indie pop-rock band goes far beyond uttering silly love songs set to a soundtrack of commercial clutter. They’ve created deep, contemplative and interesting music that relates to everyday living.

And what is even more amazing is that all of this is produced by a young band. But this isn’t some fabricated boy band and they definitely aren’t the neighborhood garage band. With more than 150 performances in 2008, they’re quickly becoming seasoned performers.

No one writes their music for them. It’s all birthed in the family living room, gathered around an out of tune piano that gets a nightly makeover from a skilled craftsman. Forced out of Russia by religious and political persecution a decade ago, the Odnoralov family found a home in Colorado.

They’ve adapted. They’ve grown. They’ve learned. Now they’re inviting us to walk with them on their journey.

The piano-driven melodies are simply subtle. But don’t be fooled. In an instant the ambling brings you to a precipice – and then lets you fall head long into the music. The band accomplishes what few others do – music that lasts beyond the play button. The tunes will repeat in your head for hours and the lyrics might become a soundtrack to your daily life.
