Rock need not bore. There are possibilities. 'Life Embarrasses Me On Plant Earth' is an album of pastoral beauty, influenced by quite literally everything around the two members of Seventeen Evergreen, Caleb Pate and Nephi Evans.
How many bands would hold trees, fire, sea, knowledge, experience and the vast unknown space on earth and beyond, as equal inspirations to beautiful girls? The band explore themes that it's safe to say are truly their own, and are making music in their own individual space. Conversations pondering the likelihood of intelligent non-human life forms in the vasts of the universe, sci-fi love, and urban lament of the mundane working world soon turned in to lyrics, and, ultimately, the main inspiration behind their debut album, 'Life Embarrasses Me On Planet Earth.'
An organic electronic/rock hybrid, sonically kite flying amongst Boards of Canada, My Bloody Valentine, Pink Floyd & Pavement, the album is a genuine whole, a rich & considered tapestry that weaves a kaleidoscope of possibilities in to a psychedelic, breathy, almost mystical soup.
In all, where others cough and splutter, Seventeen Evergreen float, slowly and calmly along life's path, savouring the beauty of every rose along the way.
Spend a minute with any Seventeen Evergreen track and you'll be greeted with the sirens of the forest, the stars in the sky and the vibrations of the ground dancing together in the ether to form an intricate yet consummate aural feast for your stereo.
