Rising indie-alt-pop artist Evelia shines on the new EP, On Your Roof, a collection that threads youthful emotion with a high-octane indie rock sound. Blending poignant storytelling with pulsing, angst-pop production, the EP showcases a sound that sits among the likes of beabadoobee, Japanese House and early Lucy Rose.
building a reputation for her introspective lyricism and evocative vocal style, On Your Roof explores the highs and lows of young adulthood— heartbreak, longing, and the personal reckoning that follows whilst delivering a striking full band sound embellished with dappled electronics and tasteful production. Topped with Evulia’s sharp, melodic choruses and heartfelt vocal delivery, the EP is a vibrant example of her capabilities as both a writer and performer.
“I wrote this EP in the aftermath of my first real breakup when I found myself begging for something across these tracks,” Evelia shares. “In my early twenties, I navigated what I wouldn’t stand for in a relationship and how I let that define me. These songs were penned alone in my bedroom and later brought to a band in Athens that helped shape the sonic threads, taking the music from acoustic ballads to polished, indie rock songs. I hope that you listen to this project and are reminded of being 20 and madly in love—that you recall the brutal push and pull of making a dying relationship work, and remember the first time, fresh from heartbreak, that you found yourself.”
