"Invisible Sap", the new 3-track EP being released on Nov. 20th exclusively through Brite Revolution, takes a decidedly different turn from Andree's earlier electronic and house dance days. Featuring bright guitars and spirited vocals in the style of Death Cab-meets-Passion Pit, this album gives a nod to youthful exploration and the frightening excitement of realizing your first love.
The opening track, "American Dream", could be the new generation's "Jack and Diane". Backed by a steady beat and concise guitar work, Andree sings, "You were that sweetheart girl / that every boy dreams of growing up / And the way we met was / like an American dream." The chorus adds some sentimentality, while a clubby, bass-driven bridge at the 2-minute mark provides some depth and mood to Andree's new indie pop sound. "Your Song" is thoughtful and romantic, with a lot of little musical details that make it a pleasure to listen to. The last song, "Mr. Teleportation", is the edgiest of the tracks with layers of distorted guitar and a more aggressive beat than previously heard on the album. But Andree's scintillating voice strikes a charming balance with such honest lyrics as, "I've felt this way a hundred times before / locked in a room alone and on the floor / Singing my heart feels for someone / so far away / I don't want the pain to stop / I just want her here with me."
It is obvious that Evan Andree understands songwriting and all of the hard work that comes along with it, but right now his two most formidable attributes are his enthusiasm and unjaded outlook. These are two very important qualities that often get lost along the way, but if Andree can harness and hold onto them, his talent should take him far.
