About "Proper"
There's something to be said about cohesiveness in music, most
especially in this day and age where the art form of an album that
provides the listener with an experience from start to finish is more
and more becoming an antiquated concept. Evan Thomas Weiss (aka Into It. Over It.) however, who at 26 years and with his debut full length album "Proper," has attained a level of depth in his songwriting not seen by most artists throughout their entire careers.
Having written, recorded and played with an eclectic pedigree of artists
such as Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start, The Progress,
and Stay Ahead of the Weather, IIOI's culmination of experiences with
said bands have stylistically fused together for the grand effort that
is Weiss debut LP. The album's release will mark a four year
commemoration of his 52 Weeks project (where from September 2007 to
September 2008 he wrote and recorded one track each week for a year,
making them available online before being approached by No Sleep Records who released them as a 2xCD in June of 2009), as well as his Twelve Towns
7" series/collection which featured recordings with artists such as Bob
Nanna (Braid / Hey Mercedes), CSTVT, Everyone Everywhere, Pswingset,
Empire! Empire!, and Such Gold, recently compiled for release on
Topshelf Records. The new album also follows Weiss 2010 split release
with friend Andrew KOJI Shiraki, named one of the years best
overlooked releases by The Associated Press.
The lyrical concepts of "Proper" and it's all around aura
stems from autobiographical and literal exemplifications which have
taken place over the past year of Weiss' life, most of which occurring
in Chicago where he now resides. The album culminates in a heady yet
straightforward melodic stew resembling Sunny Day Real Estate, Death Cab
For Cutie and Dismemberment Plan to name a few, along with impassioned
songwriting executed with the potency and ardor of Chuck Regan and Colin
Meloy. While not labeled as a concept album per se, the stories which
form the basis of Into It. Over It.'s songs stem from Weiss' own personal experiences, but are still relatable by one theme and one theme only: Life.
"Proper" was recorded at Blacklodge Studios in Eudora, KS
and co-produced by Ed Rose (The Get Up Kids, Touche Amore, Small Brown
Bike). The album features contributions from Nick Wakim of Stay Ahead
of the Weather/CSTVT on drums and Nathan Ellis of The Casket Lottery.
Album art was photographed at Weiss' apartment in Chicago by Ryan
Russell. There will be alternate layouts for the CD/LP and a tour with
Frank Turner will follow in the fall. Pre-order the album here.
