Need a break from your Leadbelly and Hank Williams mp3s? Well, unlike those guys, the musical collaboration Evan and Paul isn’t from anywhere. Evan and Paul do not have supper together after rehearsal in some town you’ve never heard of, a town whose name they do not associate with the band preferring instead the name of the nearest small city. They do not touch each other’s instruments, joke around between takes, name songs, or ‘jam’. They are a sudden band. Made by cords and wires. Evan makes robots. Paul plays with pliers. They trade files over the Internet. They trade audible eight-lettered poems, and easygoing they stride next to sounds; they send them around in a baton relay till they reach the end and this is the end. They are not sure how many songs they have. I have two that are not repeats or replacements. The name of the first one is “Life on the Asteroid Colony”. The name of the second one is “Death march of the unemployed atom-smashers”.
