Follow the Sun Album Review

It’s a long journey to become a household name within Australasia, but Evermore have done exactly that and more. From topping the charts in 2004 with their debut album Dreams to their latest release Follow the Sun, Evermore have established themselves into the indie-rock record books. Partially recorded on tour using a mobile studio while literally following the sun to LA, Buenos Aires, Paris, Jerusalem, Spain and Morocco. As quoted by Jon “It was an amazing trip, so many experiences I’ll never forget… getting patted down for weapons by cops on the side of the freeway outside Los Angeles after we ran out of gas, getting completely lost in the maze of ancient streets and incredible food that is Marrakech. The trip added musical richness to the album and songs but ultimately we wrote more of the songs at home at our own studio, the Stables.”

While they are now a considered a veteran band its amazing to think that they are all still currently under 30 years of age and after an impressive string of chart topping hits, sold out tours and industry awards its mind blowing to consider the fact that there musical journey is still just beginning.

First up is A World Without You, a fantastic start to the album that has that classic Evermore sound which you just have to crank out loud. The title track Follow the Sun is up next which is a instant classic you’ll surely be hearing on on the radio waves in the next coming months as its the perfect summer song to crack while sipping a beer, waiting by the BBQ. My favorite track on the album is entitled We’ll Fly. I found myself singing along and hitting back to hear it again. It’s the kind of song that you know the festival crowds are going to love that has a Coldplay flavour but is still uniquely Evermove.

This is going to be another great Kiwi (Yes Kiwi) album that you’ll love. I highly recommend to obtain this for your collection and to make sure you play it loud during these long summer nights.
