‘Blood’ EP
“Blood,” was a labor of love, growth, and rebirth. Making this EP was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. The stories I had to relive to get an experiential, honest piece of work nearly tore me apart. There was blood on the studio floor when I was done recording, but there was also a lightness of being I’d never thought possible. I bled for this album and that catharsis led to me giving birth to a new version of myself that could shed the hauntings of my past. Those ghosts went into the mic and they stayed there. This work is me. My stories, my life; all that makes me, ‘me.’
Hemingway said, “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” I never really understood what he meant until I wrote the lyrics for, then put vocals to, this work.
With humility and gratitude, I thank my producer/recording engineer/mixing engineer, Alex Venguer, for his patience, talent, and care. This music would never have made it out of my soul without him.
Critics’ Reviews – Excerpts
+++
“Savarre has a wildly versatile vocal instrument; it’s capable of convincing lower register contributions as well as soaring highs. Evans gives “Art of the Bleed” a sense of stakes. She’s singing for her life here, leaving it all on the studio floor, but her control never allows the vocal to become overwrought. She doesn’t attempt to dominate the song. Instead, Evans works hard incorporating herself into the overall arrangement. Savarre is clearly intended as a band project rather than a glorified solo vehicle.”
