The new EP from Los Angeles-based artist 7evin7ins, My Everlasting Isolation enamors with a hooky fusing of rock and pop — from the roaring guitar-based theatrics of “Gun Shy” to the anthemic pop radiance of opener “Don’t Trip,” reminding fondly of The 1975. Listening through the seven tracks here, it’s easy to see why the artist is on a rapid ascent — headlining shows on both coasts and being featured in the NHL 24 soundtrack, among other accomplishments.
Displays of alt-pop and rock alike impress across this eclectic though accessible release, described as “themed around being stuck in your own head and being isolated because of it.” The EP’s book-ends — “Don’t Trip” and “Hey Violet” — embrace that infectious alt-pop spectrum, with the latter exuding a compelling moodiness in its emotive vocal delivery and understated guitar jangles, driving to a multi-layered vocal enthusiasm.
Elsewhere, “THANKS FOR THE THERAPY” touts an illuminated, anthemic rock composure, while “Gun Shy” bridges yearning “wish it wasn’t you,” vocal hooks with rousing guitar ardency. The My Everlasting Isolation EP is a thorough alt-pop success from 7evin7ins.
