Review by Ben Siornicki

The album Evidence by Religious Knives is a mesmerizing and haunting experience that showcases the band's unique sound and vision. From the opening track "Basement Watch" to the closing number "The Last Train," the album takes the listener on a journey through dark and moody landscapes, blending elements of post-punk, shoegaze, and experimental music to create a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

The band's use of hypnotic rhythms, droning guitars, and ethereal vocals creates a sense of otherworldliness that is both unsettling and captivating. The album's standout tracks include "The Sun and the Moon," a brooding meditation on life and death, and "Smokescreen," a driving, propulsive track that showcases the band's ability to create powerful and dynamic music.

Summary by Ben Siornicki

Evidence is a masterful album that demonstrates Religious Knives' ability to create music that is both challenging and accessible. Fans of experimental rock and darkwave will find much to love here, and newcomers to the band will be drawn in by the album's hypnotic and immersive soundscapes. Highly recommended.
