With clear moods, the songwriters in the band Evigheten paint an alternative picture of what pop music can be. With the EP Heten, Toft, Saunes-Skarsgaard and Paulsberg present four melodic works, filled with unexpected harmonic twists. The sparse and uncluttered instrumentation creates space for a strong listening experience. Thoughts go to the synth escapades of the 70s and mystical folk pop, and the music often has a baroque feel. Warm analog arpeggios and punchy drums build under crystal clear vocals. This is effective and powerful pop music. At the same time, there is something more, something different and unique that makes itself felt outside of our zeitgeist.
