Aevan - Ethernal/The Van [2011]

Aevan's Ethernal cover actually looks a bit like there could be some dreamy shoegaze on it, doesn't it? Well, there isn't. Not in first line anyway. What you get here is some high-quality Atmospheric/Alternative Rock underlined with acoustic parts. A few songs certainly work with some Post-Rock and Shoegaze elements (on tracks like 'Dive with the Wale, for example) which creates a dreamy and cineatic atmosphere sometimes, but when it comes to Ethernal as a whole album, consider it as Rock. However, the onlything I don't like that much is the vocals which aren't as powerful as they should be in my opinion.

The following EP "The Van" however also deals with Alternative Rock though it's Rock 'n' Roll influenced and sleazy as well. Compared to Ethernal, The Van definitely is easier to listen to, a record which can be heard incidentally. But as I said regarding Ethernal, the vocals doesn't fit in perfectly. At least on The Van they could have been dirtier as it would be some more homogeneous concerning the Rock 'n' Roll influence.
