Evil Creek head into the darkness on their powerful new southern rocker Away From The Sun — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
A preview of their Dec. 2 EP of the same name, Away From The Sun is an Americana-tinged guitar anthem with introspective loud-quiet dynamics and lyrics that a deep dive into mental-health issues and depression, exploring loneliness and isolation:
“I know I walk alone
My shadow follows me
Takes away my sanity
Take a look in my eyes
See I’ve become so hollow
Will I make it through tomorrow.”
“A lot of people face a very real and legitimate daily struggle with mental illness,” the band say. “Throughout history, touchpoints like music and social connections have provided coping and healing mechanisms in this struggle. But when Covid came along, we were all forced into isolation with no end in sight, no good news, and very little interaction to create a balance. This really amplified the impact of mental illness struggles across the world.”
