Album of the Week – 01/08/25

It’s another slow week, as the music industry is busy focusing on festivals rather than releasing new albums. A few interesting ones are knocking around, though, and we’ve found something nice and off for our albums of the week. It’s the New Eve, with their album The New Eve is Rising. It’s their debut album, released on Transgressive Records.

Album of the Week – The New Eve – The New Eve Is Rising

The debut album from The New Eves, The New Eve Is Rising,  is due this August on their new label home, Transgressive Records.

Nestled somewhere between primal rock’n’roll live performance and transcendent ritual, there’s an unmistakable alchemy that happens when Violet Farrer (guitar, violin, vocals), Nina Winder-Lind (cello, guitar, vocals), Kate Mager (bass, vocals) and Ella Oona Russell (drums, flute, vocals) step onto a stage together. It’s a boundless, uninhibited kind of magic that feels completely new; that’s writing its own rulebook for how to exist – as a band, as women, as humans in the world – from the ground up.

“The space we go into when we perform feels quite far away from regular life. It takes a lot out of us and we really go into this other dimension, so it’s amazing that we can bring people there with us,” says Ella. “The live show is what’s got us everywhere – we had barely any music out, it was all so underground, but people just wanted to come and they’ve never stopped coming.”
