Back in 2012 Julie Chance and Jon Dark, and Irish-Australian duo residing in Berlin released their first self-titled album under the name Kool Thing. Three years later they are back with their second album *Eternalism* under a new name, [Evvol](http://www.evvolmusic.com/?ref=glamglare.com). Behind the name change is more than just improving their Googleability without giving up the [Sonic Youth reference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evol?ref=glamglare.com): they broke up, reunited and redefined themselves in the meantime. 

Musically, they stayed the course: electronics, with some guitar and acoustic drums and unison vocals. But the way they lay it out is good for many surprises: in just nine songs they cover some serious ground and touch genres without let themselves be defined by them. The decisively electronic opener *I See You (I Am You)* gives way to a series of dreamy, ethereal tracks, culminating in *Starcrossed* with a Santana-style guitar line. Just when you begin to get lulled in, *Your Love* wakes you up with weird disjointed synth and bass lines. Next up is *No Love*, which could be on an AlunaGeorge album with processed vocals and lush synths. There’s two more tracks, before *Four Steps From Home* closes as if somebody pulled the cable from the keyboard.

But Julie and Jon make it all work together. Maybe *Eternalism* not an album that can charm you at first listen, but it may grow on you quickly: there is a lot to discover and think about and that is what makes a great album for me. 

*Eternalism* is out now on [!K7](http://www.k7.com/?ref=glamglare.com). Listen to it on [Apple Music](https://itun.es/us/gF-G7?ref=glamglare.com), [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/album/3qOC31Wb9oJrvRYrFJDd6?ref=glamglare.com) or stream the entire album below on Soundcloud:
