SNEAKS

Tuesday 16 October 2018 2018

Eva Moolchan, also know as Seaks, knows how to take you into space with not much more than her bass, drum machine and voice. With her minimalistic songs, she quickly figured out her own way in the ‘Do It Youself Punk Scene’ of the masculin Washington DC where she grew up by releasing her first record ‘Gymnastics’.

Her second album, It’s a Myth, builds on Sneaks’ playfully stark approach to post-punk, which, as her hometown City Paper described it, causes listeners to go “from curious to provoked to hungry.” Hungry, in part, because the new album clocks in at just 18 minutes of ten taut, captivating tracks (but still a feast compared to Gymnastics’ 14 minutes). It also adds Jonah Takagi and Ex Hex/Helium frontwoman Mary Timony, who recorded the album at Timony’s D.C. studio. “She’s got art in her brain,” Timony has said of Moolchan. “Her brain is making beautiful stuff.”

“ Her take on post-punk is minimalist and sparse—music that proves there's a virtue in being concise “
