So here we are then, with 'Shells', an album bristling with energy and verve, encapsulating everything that made Everon such a force to be reckoned with in the frst place. With songs like the ebullient opener 'No Embrace' and the complex patterns of 'Broken Angels', the quirk of 'Pinocchio's Nose' and the more heartfelt tones of 'Monster', or the epic 14-minute grandeur of closing track 'Flesh', Everon have rarely sounded so good. Defantly old school packed full of progressive fourishes and Oliver Philipps' innate sense of melody set the band apart from many of their peers all those years ago.
