Engineers – To An Evergreen

Posted by hugger | Published on February 26, 2011

Despite everything seemingly being in its right place British band Engineers have ceaselessly failed to impress on us a sense that they had any songs. Things look to be on the up though following the release of their 3rd album ‘In Praise of More’ last year. May or may not have something to do with the change of personnel but having Ulrich Schnauss on board will certainly help. ‘To An Evergreen’ is a grainy peephole into the world of post shoegaze, all pleasant wispy vocals and fuzz laden chords. The dramatics are set to max and while it could have easily fallen flat on its face under such duress ‘To An Evergreen’ does emerge with a good deal of soul. Could be something building here, an articulation that has almost been a decade in the making. KD
