Ever - Ever

I apologize for this review being shamefully overdue, but I couldn’t let this album slide by in my busy schedule. Husband and wife team of Jesse and Michelle Averna have blasted into the synth rock scene with their first self-titled release. Voted by the Radio-Active-Music.com’s fans as the best album of 2004, it’s easy to see the tremendous impact they’ve had on the music industry in such a short time.

Michelle’s voice is nothing short of astonishing. With such a haunting captivity, listeners are instantly enraptured in the emotion and message from this band. Jesse in no way falls short in comparison to his wife’s vocals; his programming is phenomenal, innovative, and a perfect companion to the floating sound of Michelle’s voice.

The music is so intricate, but seems to come with such ease, especially in songs such as “Stay” and “Idyll”. “Idyll” was the first single from this band, and was what had immediately hooked me to their sound. The emotional content is accessible, yet provides that glimmer of hope that society so desperately needs.

Suggested Tracks:
“Idyll”
“Lay Down”
“Stay”
