The New Eves announce debut album ‘The New Eve Is Rising’ alongside two new singles

The New Eves have announced their forthcoming debut album, ‘The New Eve Is Rising’, due on 1st August via Transgressive Records. The four piece - made up of Violet Farrer (guitar, violin, vocals), Nina Winder-Lind (cello, guitar, vocals), Kate Mager (bass, vocals) and Ella Oona Russell (drums, flute, vocals) - have also shared two new tracks to tease the record. 

The new tracks - ‘Rivers Run Red’ and album opener ‘The New Eve’ - are the first teasers of the forthcoming debut. ‘The New Eve’ features a poetic manifesto, inviting the listener into the world of the band. “The New Eve is of earth / Granite, ochre, magma, dirt / All the bones in her body are holy / All the stones in her pockets are homely,” they sing on the track.

“The poem was written by Nina in her family’s cabin in the Swedish mountains,” the band have said of the song. “It’s about us. It’s for our younger selves. It’s about everyone. It’s for anyone. It’s a song to be played very loud and to run away to, or rob a bank to, and march and dance and laugh. In a way it’s a love song. It’s an ode. And a glorious battle cry.”

Meanwhile, ‘Rivers Run Red’ started as a song for Violet to dance to. “The initial lyrics are a poem written by Ella when she was a teenager,” explained the band on the new track. “It was never intended to be a final part of the song, it just happened to be something she knew by heart whilst we were jamming.

“This whole song was kind of an accident and because of that it’s had so many incarnations and has taken us to new places, like Nina’s ‘disco cello’ and Violet’s camping cup percussion debut. Now we love it.”
