I Am The Light

21st century Australian power pop from Even.



I discovered Even a couple of years ago through a free Rubber Records sampler, and was completely taken with them for awhile. Their songs sound like they were genetically engineered for me to like. This song, "I Am The Light" has hooks and riffs and a singalong chorus, and words that are mostly there just to carry the tune. It's like three minutes of candy coated crack.

They've been around since the early 90s, and haven't changed their sound one bit during that time. Even's entire catalog (most of it is on emusic) is a marvel of craftsmanship and consistency.
