The New Eve is Rising

Albums of the Year 2025: #49 One of the most exciting debut albums of the year, The New Eve Is Rising merges folk, punk, and ’60s garage into a unique sound. The New Eves’ music sits somewhere between The Raincoats and the Velvet Underground, with the repetition of Stereolab. Nestled between primal rock ‘n’ roll live performances and transcendent rituals, there’s an unmistakable alchemy that happens when Violet Farrer (guitar, violin, vocals), Nina Winder-Lind (cello, guitar, vocals), Kate Mater (bass, vocals), and Ella Oona Russell (drums, flute, vocals) step onto a stage together. They have distilled this visceral energy into their extraordinary debut album, The New Eve Is Rising, a lightning rod of inspiration channeled by a quartet with the ability to create something greater than the sum of their parts. The New Eve Is Rising was written in Brighton and at an artistic residency at The Cornish Bank, co-produced by The New Eves and Jack Osbourne (Bingo Fury), and recorded at Rockfield Studios and Bristol’s Cotham Parish Church.
