Crowd Control by Evanoff

Crowd control is the second piece of music in our concept EP, “Dark Before Dawn”, which reflects upon JJ’s first hand experience with Syrian refugees whilst on a 20 hour train ride from Southern France to Munich Germany back in 2015. The musical storyline of the album attempts to narrate the journey of a war torn refugee, and the mental-emotional battle they experience as they transition from the chaos of their home country to finding peace in their new life. Crowd Control is the second episode in that story.

What was so fulfilling creatively about writing Crowd Control, was the ability to combine the influence of all our current favorite musical genres, funk, future bass, and rock, into one fluid musical composition. The song also highlights Jake Hall (drums) and our favorite aspects as performing musicians, including dancey grooves and psychedelic jam breakdowns, to complex electronic production. Crowd Control has been our favorite song to play in our live shows since we wrote it back in April of this year, so we are glad to be able to transfer the same energy into our studio recording.
