TEMPORARY SECRETARY
“Temporary Secretary is one of the lesser known McCartney tunes. It comes from his 1980 solo album McCartney II. Needless to say the song and album didn’t receive critical acclaim but many of the songs on the album are decades before their time in regards to the genre. I’ve always loved the song because you either love it or hate it.” Evert Snyman

ALL KILLER FILLER
‘All Killer Filler’ from acclaimed producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Evert Snyman features 12 reimagined ‘filler’ classics. Embracing rock’s rich history of underrated bangers Snyman delivers fresh, idiosyncratic twists to ‘All Killer Filler’ mainlining a fresh spirit into classics such as ‘Temporary Secretary’ (Paul McCartney), ‘The Colour & The Shape’ (Foo Fighters), ‘Planet Of Sound’ (The Pixies), ‘Jesus Gonna Be Here’ (Tom Waits) & ‘Search & Destroy’ (Iggy & The Stooges).

Second track taken from forthcoming LP “Pruning In The Dark” is an energetic, and heavy offering.

“I wrote I Never Listen When You Speak with Tim Edwards the morning before we recorded it. For change I wrote the more conventional bits and Tim wrote the weirder bits. It was at the end of 2020 so no one wanted to go on holiday because of yet another Covid Wave. Casey Bliss and Brendon Bez did a great job on the bass and guitar respectively. This track was all recorded at the same time except for the vocals which I overdubbed the next day. The song is about how no one has an attention span today and they’re constantly glued to their phones. It’s also about being frustrated but not having a way out of the things that you are forced to do, regardless if it’s your responsibility or not. Fun fact is that Brendon learned the song 20 minutes before we recorded…” – Evert Snyman

Recorded & produced at Evert Snyman’s own Pariah Studios, forthcoming album ‘Pruning In The Dark’ (which includes new single ‘Thinking Too Hard’) is also the first to feature his entire band, The Aviary including a host of guest musicians. These guests, of course, are also prominent members of various prestigious South African Stoner / Fuzz / Psych Rock bands (Shadowclub, Ruff Majik, Caution Boy). In lieu of COVID-19 confinements Snyman was hell bent to ensure that Pruning In The Dark was a completely collaborative effort (which presented a few pandemic safe face-to-face challenges). resulting approach is a much heavier offering than 2021’s debut ‘Hot Mess’, which saw Snyman steering not only the albums engineering, mixing and mastering alone, but also the album’s instrumentation and performances.

We had a lot of fun making ‘Pruning In The Dark’ and that translates through every f*cking song from beginning to end! I’m incredibly proud of this album“ – Evert Snyman

“Dumb and Dead” is taken from Evert Snyman’s acclaimed solo record “Hot Mess”.

ABOUT ‘HOT MESS’:

“Hot Mess” oozes retro vibes while fearlessly blazing new trails; an array of sounds and styles distilled into a formidable, and unique listening experience. Pop sensibilities blended with guitar rock, and a dash of piano balladry are just part of the tones at work. These tracks feel bigger, more open, as if they were given room to breathe instead of being confined to a strict verse, chorus, verse, chorus format. The title track is perhaps the clearest example of this; an effortless glide through shoegaze and stoner rock with an expert incorporation of psych elements, while still retaining a pop sensibility. Ultimately ‘Hot Mess’ is a cohesive body of work featuring a cornucopia of styles within each track. From rockers such as the “The End Of Time” to the beautiful introspection of “Cleaner Than God” ‘Hot Mess’ boasts impeccably crafted melodies and personal lyrics that bolster a record rich in warmth, exploration and depth. A unique offering, “Hot Mess” is the harbinger of so much more to come for Snyman.

One rarely encounters that unique sound that draws you in and alerts your senses…that rare quality in a musician that forces you to listen more closely and pay attention. South African musician and producer Evert Snyman is exactly that; a talented songwriter and performer who has enthralled many an audience with his galvanic melodies, poetic, yet straightforward lyrics and hypnotic rhythms. Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Snyman has launched and collaborated on various projects, cementing himself as a versatile multi-instrumentalist, the most notorious of these being alternative rock bands, Pink Noise and Pollinator. Recording and producing all his own music at his studio in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, he quickly become renowned on the local scene as the go to rock producer, working with bands like Caution Boy, Mad God and Ruff Majik, whose ranks he recently joined as a full time member.

What sets Evert apart from other musicians is the raw honesty of his music. Snyman is a fearless and unabated songwriter and lyricist, speaking to emotions we often keep hidden – even from ourselves. Evert’s powerful vocals range from angst-ridden screams to crystal clear melodies that cut through intense rock guitars, drums, and keys. “The End Of Time” is taken from Snyman’s forthcoming solo album “Hot Mess” out 22nd January 2021 via Mongrel Records.

“Initially I just wanted to make a song in 6/8 timing with Jazzy drumbeat and piano. I don’t know what some my songs are about until long after I’ve written them, but I think it’s safe to say the lockdown had a fair bit of influence on this one” – Evert Snyman
