Evermore hit Queensland for a series of dates in support of the band’s top 20 debut album ‘Truth Of The World’ hitting Ipswich, Cairns, Maryborough, Bundaberg, Mackay, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Townsville in May – June 2009 with special guests END OF FASHION!!! This is one tour you won’t want to miss!
Consider everything you think you know about Evermore. Run through their history, of brothers Jon, Peter and Dann Hume growing up in the rural New Zealand town of Feilding and finding their feet as musicians. Reflect on their breakthrough 2004 debut Dreams and its beautifully crafted follow-up, 2006’s Real Life, selling platinum and double platinum. Look at their six ARIA Award nominations, two NZ Music Awards, Channel [V] and MTV gongs, and the high esteem in which music fans and peers hold them. Gather those thoughts for a moment – then get ready to be blown away.
“It’s the album we’ve been wanting to make since we started the band,” says singer and guitarist Jon, 25. “It's a concept album that takes inspiration from trashy media and political propaganda, and turns it into a fun, over the top rock'n'roll show.”
It’s an impressive united vision that began as abstract thoughts and came together into a solid concept over 18 months in the band’s studio near their new home city of Melbourne. The result, the beautifully crafted Truth Of The World: Welcome To The Show, is one of the most ambitious albums you’ll ever hear. A grandiose piece of music that plays out like a modern brave new world rock opera, its foundation is built on a fictional news broadcast and branches out to paint aural pictures of a space saturated with cheap consumer pleasures, ads, channel-surfing sound effects and catchphrases woven into a rich musical tapestry.
Produced exquisitely by Jon, Truth Of The World certainly flows like a single piece of music with lyrics and melodies thread seamlessly between very different songs. Synth-rock stompers “Between The Lines” and “Hey Boys And Girls (Truth Of The World Pt. 2)” showcase the band at their swaggering confident best. Then there’s the typewriter-tapping “Front Page Story/Diamonds In The River”, which moves from a melancholic ivory-tinkering ballad into a tribal groove-laden epic. “Tonight On The Show (Truth Of The World Pt. 1)” and the later “Infotainmentology (Truth Of The World Pt. 3)”, feature complementing melodies and infectious Beatlesque pop breakdowns shine a light on the skill of both band and producer to weave together so many pieces of music together as a focused and cohesive whole.
“We really just wanted to make things fresh again. We felt like resetting, as if we were a new band coming out and had no idea what the music industry was like, and just make the kind of music we’d like to hear,” Peter adds. “Albums are totally underrated these days. People say it’s the death of the album, but I don’t think so. I grew up listening to albums and the idea of listening to Dark Side of the Moon with the lights off or the Who’s Quadrophenia; to me it’s still the ultimate musical artform.”
