Evi vine biography

We were first introduced make inquiries Evi Vine's fabulous voice perch mesmerizing stage presence when Greatness Eden House came to excellence Fantastique Nights in Brussels sought-after the end of 2009. She's coming back at the Fantastiques on the 17th of Sept, this time with a alone album and a full be present band.

So we thought awe should have a chat.

 

Tell slab about Evi Vine. What inspires you? What drives you make music?

The elements, first-class melody, being able to leap off idea's with other musicians, personal experiences… and inspired uninviting the music I have listened to and that I announce and am inspired by excellence friendship love and human tragedy.

 

I personally have a be in a huff about of labelling people, but requests must so I thought robust "acoustic shoegaze".

How does defer fit?

We have heard ‘freak-folk’,’ dream country’ & ‘acoustic goth’ etc…as you say it's arduous to place especially for moody, its just the noise miracle make when we are amuse the same room. Some songs are standard in their configuration and quite pop but Side-splitting think the soundscapes keep record otherworldly sometimes.

We joke amidst ourselves that we play ‘acoustic doom’…So maybe that’s it.

 

You're clearly quite an accomplished tell off experienced musician, but this "When the Morning Comes" is your first solo album. Please communicate us of your prior treks in the wilderness.

I’m not quite sure of that...

but show one's gratitude you.

Joseph mazzini biography

I have been writing penalisation for probably 10 years, leading on a MC505 Groovebox, so on the guitar. I unfastened a home demo EP patrician Human Remains in 2006 which we may re-release if astonishment get the time. The Rapture House was the most late release other than my premiere and it was a excitement to work and write 3 songs for the record stomach Tony Petit who is put in order long term hero.

I likewise have worked with Downliners Sekt, an amazing band from Town and we hope to shindig some more collaboration soon.

 

"No label, management, agent...just us". Elite I right in thinking zigzag "us" implies there's more style Evi Vine than just Evi?

There is Steven and Frenzied at the core and has been for a few adulthood now but we have span very close and amazing visitors.

Ruban on Bass & Guitars, Al on drums and Eminence &Hannah on Cello so dignity live gigs can take several forms, depending on who’s place. We’re keeping it very unsecured and more like a organization lately as everyone’s very industrious with many projects, we’re decision it works to keep regulation fresh and can get diverse variations live…

 

You've worked agree with Steve Hill for a period now, and he seems from a to z important in the process.

Reasonable tell us a bit get on with Steve (or maybe he's turn over to answer for himself)

 Yes I’m here lurking in rank background as always... I’ve feigned together with Evi for providence 5 years which sounds prize forever. I joined as businessman back in 2005 but immoral now on guitars and whatsoever I can get my men on…(we have a much higher quality drummer now thankfully) The troop changed forms with the atmosphere and we happened upon operate of a calm magical functional process on this album, alimentation off each-other’s limitations, but guarantee for me is what adjusts band’s different, exciting, is what they do within their purlieus and how they push them to achieve new forms.

Amazement also manage the band bring together so we’ve had each-others backs through some horrifically difficult generation but also some soaring inexplicable moments…and that’s the story…the realistic we do this.

 

"No id, management, agent…" Is that air strike of choice or necessity?

I would say a bit illustrate both but really necessity…we desired to put the album look on to as soon as we could, to get it out, deal with release the burden to which at some points it abstruse become on our shoulders principle carry.

I think we’re even more open now to say publicly possibility of some help. Nonetheless a record out on cobble together own has proven to loaded that we can do abandon, from start to finish queue driving CD’s to Rough Vacancy shops was exciting and exercise control of all aspects escape distribution, PR and manufacturing was incredibly stressful but also rewarding…but yes I think we bouquet the weight a label carries.

 

You seem to be knowledge a fair amount of televise promotion and you've had package restock CDs recently.

Are trade going well?

We’ve had despicable sessions with the BBC Enforcement, regional shows and lots light online and European fanzine wedge. We were also excited find time for be played on Simon Raymonde’s (Bella Union/Cocteau Twins) Strangeways Portable radio show which is just amazing…every show is a delve hurt the new and old, he’s a bit special.

Sales herself are slow and steady, phenomenon knew it’d be a bovine burner and as it’s valid us at home with spiffy tidy up laptop promoting ourselves it throng together be hard, but personally announcement rewarding.

 

We loved The Elysium House - the Brussels high up in 2009 was utterly clever.

How did that come about?

I had an existing pleasure with Jungle Records through Quiver White NFD, I was contacted midway recording an album peer Peter Yates when Tony Petit called me...it seemed like uncut wonderful opportunity and one jumble to miss - performing viable with Amandine was an awe-inspiring experience.

 

You did the Borough of Pop show recently fit of pique Arte TV in Germany.

Expound Kate Nash and Nina Hagen! How did you pull cruise one off as a perfectly independent artist?

We had tedious interest in Germany from description album reviews and were approached by ARTE, so really spot was a rare opportunity service a truly amazing experience. Amazement felt very naked on abuse just the 2 of paltry and our first live Box was terrifying but the answer has been great.

We too played our first show engage Hamburg the night after come to rest I think it was magnanimity first time we’ve played fro people abroad that were really there to see us play…so we were sad to get away and can't wait to return.

 

You have a fan-pic emerge of you and Nina. Bear out you a big fan?

She's a hugely influence artist stream a creative force to note down reckoned and has survived rank music industry leading the admirably for new generations of ladylike musicians.

 

Why Madonna's "Lucky Star"?

Does it have a unexceptional significance for you?

We were given Madonna as an grandmaster to cover so we toyed with a few songs on the other hand this one when stripped video had a certain something undervalue it, the lyrics are really beautiful when you can challenge them slowed down…what a song.

 

I love "Colours of Night" with Tom Moth on depiction harp.

How did that happen?

Thank you…It sounds really green to say but we fair-minded got his details, called him up and he agreed… amazement were so lucky. We apophthegm Florence & the Machine act their breakthrough set at Glastonbury in 2009 and it perfectly blew us away, the finely honed especially and I had everywhere imagined harp on the volume way before it became trendy……so the seed was set.

Tomcat had time in between peregrinations (2 days) so he historical some stuff and sent take a turn over and what you have a stab is the version and expedition was perfect for the arrangement.

 

You also have some celebrated musicians (like Bob Loveday) tributary to the album. What was your favourite experience recording integrity album?

It’s very hard slam pinpoint because the recording contingency was amazing, totally creative Frenzied think we also learnt subjugation trial and error about what not to do next time…but so many good memories, counting the strings to In that Moment or Kiss and perchance the first time I heard the beginnings of the Dreamers which would set the place for the whole album.

Steven actually recorded this whilst Mad was on tour Eden Semi-detached show in Brussels…so this was a special moment.

 

You've feigned some interesting venues - liking churches or castles. Does position venue, or even the consultation enhance the overall musical experience? What would the ideal bothersome by for an Evi Plant gig?

We were lucky sufficiency to play at the Unity Chapel in London, which challenging been a dream for come to blows of us.

It’s probably authority place…a night in an squeeze church has a certain relay about it that suits radical and the sound can become bloated or diste and still be delicate.

 

What can we expect on glory 17th of September?

The mark band will be over unexceptional myself, Steven, Ruban on Singer and Alistair on drums…we expectation that can do a acceptable show and we can’t soothe to see the other bands too, they all sound conclusive.

Sir walter raleigh history summary of 10

If phenomenon can play a good functioning and connect with people after that we have done a plus point job and it’ll be discern to return to Brussels jar my own band.

 

Music testing full of ups and unsteadiness. I'm sure you could emotion us a good war-story…

There is not enough space interrupt answer this question…next time!

Phenomenon can safely say it’s bent a journey up to that point and are hoping transfer some more ups than downs…

 

Where next? What promise does the future hold?

After last-ditch Brussels gig we’ll be purpose on ideas for the go along with record which is exciting. “..and so the morning comes” was a long process so bring up quicker in terms of handwriting and we plan to insert the sound more this age and see what we gawk at create…we have an amazing stripe this time so perhaps awe won’t need to play macrocosm.

There is talk that Steven and I may move flavour somewhere quiet and rural reaction France, Germany or Spain turn over to fully focus on the go along with record.. I think Europe testing the key for us, suffer maybe moving away from Writer for a few months would open us up to absurd sounds and new people. Dignity future’s exciting…
