Old Old Review #1- Everlea: In Bedrooms and Basements

To anyone who is an existing fan of the Ontario band Everlea, it should be no news to you that they love their acoustic guitars. Several songs from the most recent album feature acoustic guitars, many of which are my favourites. Therefore, I was very excited to hear that Everlea was releasing an acoustic EP, titled In Bedrooms and Basements.
The opening track, Impossible is easily my favourite song on the EP. The guitar work is spectacular. The playing is so clean a flawless, and so intricate. It gives it a very relaxing feel. The lyrics compliment the guitar perfectly, and the vocals are completely flawless. The first time I heard the song it gave me shivers. The entire rest of the EP follows that pattern. All of the songs feature clean acoustic guitar, and have a very cottage-y, calming feel. Featuring an acoustic version of one of their hits from the first album, Hook Line and Sinker, it is definitely a must have for existing fans, and even if you have never heard of Everlea, you should definitely give it a listen- you won't be disappointed.
