Urgent. Slick. Sensual. Synthesizers have so much to offer when used with taste. After a few quiet years composing for commercials, solo artist and former Variac member James Pinkstone has united with Naomi Lavender (Dracula: The Rock Opera, Factory) to create something new and unique: EveningShade.The Hungry Night, EveningShade’s debut album, is a breathless collection of indie rock songs dressed up in a synth pop evening gown. Featuring mixes by Don McCollister (Indigo Girls, Ponderosa) and Kris Sampson (The Coathangers, All The Saints), The Hungry Night is a stark departure from anything that Pinkstone, or anyone else, has done before.
