It’s time for another post on Evan Voytas. In a league of constantly releasing new music in a feverish (but genius) manner along with artists such as Blackbird Blackbird, Voytas is blooming into the multi-instrumentalist and pop prodigy of Los Angeles. It should go without saying that if he releases something new, I will be talking about it on here.
Although I had always been a fan of his dreamy electropop soundscapes, I was recently very impressed with a live set from Voytas’ residency at The Echo during October. He and his band (which now includes The Sweet Hurt’s Wendy Wang) sounded so much tighter and fuller than the last time I had seen them. When they opened for Dragonette, it seemed as if they were still a bit shy when it came to stage presence but this time around, there was an obvious maturity and growth in confidence. The change in demeanor was definitely a positive turn around because with the talent, Voytas and his live band are bound to dazzle concert goers for a long time if they keep this up.
Pride is something some musicians try to avoid showing because everyone in the music industry aims to deal with talented people but they also favor the down to earth guy or gal. Being humble is nice but when you’ve got the goods, you should be happy to flaunt them a bit more than you think you can. So, I’m very glad Voytas and company have finally embraced their accomplishments.
Speaking of new releases, Voytas has just released a new EP titled “Tomorrow Night We’ll Go Anywhere” with the recent key tracks being “Our Thing” and the track which shares the EP name. With the former track offering another solid combination of Voytas’ smooth falsettos over some crisp beats, the latter sounds like it got a heavy dose of disco – which sounds great! It’s definitely a fun one to dance to.
Check both tracks out below. Also, if you haven’t checked the latest Wild Tonic mixtape out yet, Voytas’ “I Run With You, Spirit Animal” is just one of the many great tracks included.
