For newcomers: Chris Mott and Daun Fields are the heart of the band (this time joined by Cole Champion and Greg O\u2019Neil). Whether or not they coined the phrase \u201cbasement pop,\u201d they embody it fully. Their sound blends punk, alt rock, folk, and guitar pop, but what sets it apart is the spirit\u2014heart, grit, integrity\u2014and the dual vocals that make every line feel communal and true.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1392\">The lyrics deepen that sense of connection. Evening Standards write about ordinary lives with extraordinary care, chronicling how love, friendship, and music itself can keep the darkness at bay.\u00a0 Soon the characters in these songs start to feel like friends or family, and <em>Prairie Vida<\/em> itself like a record to treasure.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2993598491\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=de270f\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=757803769\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basementpop.bandcamp.com\/album\/prairie-vida\">Prairie Vida by Evening Standards<\/a><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2993598491\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=de270f\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=509479905\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basementpop.bandcamp.com\/album\/prairie-vida\">Prairie Vida by Evening Standards<\/a><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2993598491\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=de270f\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=3346495868\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basementpop.bandcamp.com\/album\/prairie-vida\">Prairie Vida by Evening Standards<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Add to wantlist: <a href=\"https:\/\/basementpop.bandcamp.com\/album\/prairie-vida\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evening Standards are back with their fifth LP, Prairie Vida, and they\u2019ve done it the old-school way: no hype campaign, no playlist bait, no exclusive premieres.
