AMALGAM by ZEVIN
Very much an 'amalgamation' of a lot of the different music I love, this album is a great way to both stretch some new and bold creative muscles as well as begin to convey the future direction of this once direction-less project.
The 'amalgam' idea also comes from the various time periods in which these bits and pieces were first created - the oldest riff on this album was born sometime around 2012 for an older project and has finally come to a proper fruition here. Alongside it are attempts at blending in other genres (dreampop, 80's power anthem, rock opera??) Totally original and mind-blowing stuff, right? Who's Mike Patton...? Haha!
I once again marvel at the incredibly various and random things that inspire the music that gets written. Moreso, I'm very lucky to be able to put my own spin on everything I've ever absorbed.
Lastly, a thousand 'Thank You's' to the friends that got in on the action while this album was being recorded. Because of you it turned out better than I could ever imagine.

ZEVIN is an ever-evolving project.
There is no ‘true’ musical direction with ZEVIN, just melodic possibilities. As a fan of many MANY different genres, the aim is to create a vast array of different sounds and translate them to the live stage as fully as possible. Drawing influence from several different areas (not just music) truly helps to craft something unique, so expect the unexpected.
