Evernow is the second full-length from artist/producer PJ Norman.
An English/Swiss transplant based now in New York City for ten years, Norman offers this sophomore set through the 100m Records label he co-founded in London, 2005. His contributions to a number of projects on the roster have included full lengths by tKatKa, Glass Rifle, Latchkey Lights, the drum and bass two-piece King Collider, and the electronic improvisation group Fates.
With this solo project Norman has diverged from his passion for collaboration by limiting the parameters around which the album was made, he explains:
"I started from scratch where I just tried to do everything, you know, drums, keys, the lot... see how close I could get to pulling it off."
The album was recorded over a period of 5 years in the 100m studio, Brooklyn, NY, by the artist. All instruments and production by PJ Norman, except track 1 synth sample by Carlsson (tKatKa), track 6 guitar sample processing by AJ Cookson (Forma/Necro Deathmort), track 8 violin Wesley Cabral.
Evernow encompasses a range of Norman's influences, including Glen Branca, Steely Dan, Bark Psychosis and Neu!
