Nili Brosh | Eventide

Description

With an ever-present concentration on catchy melodies, I’ve always felt like I’ve had some mild form of synesthesia I wanted publicly shown through my music. This album was an attempt to make the sonic color of the highlight tracks consistent with the cover art’s aesthetic. In addition, it matches my new Ibanez signature guitar and my music videos. 

‘Pastel Dreams,’ ‘Take You On,’ and the title track, ‘Eventide,’ were especially produced to match the visual aesthetics and color schemes. With this record, I took an even more hands-on approach to production than ever. I aimed for a retro-modern feel. It really feels like myself especially in those tracks. – Nili Brosh

Including new re-mixed/re-mastered versions of “Estranged” (previously released in 2020), as well as “Song for Hope” and “Lavender Mountains” (previously released in 2023), the story that started over the pandemic finally comes full circle. There are also seven additional new tracks. As with NILI’s previous albums, stylistic diversity remains a priority. “Tip the Cap” and “Every Player Wins” introduce new genre explorations.

Brosh brought along some very special guests for Eventide, including an electrifying solo on “Roulette” by Brendon Small (creator of Metalocalypse and singer/guitarist of Dethklok). Additionally, bassist Pete Griffin from Dethklok appears on “Lavender Mountains,” “Losing Grip,” and “Every Player Wins.”

From Danny Elfman’s band, engineer Shachar Boussani mixed five of the songs. Additionally, Sidney Hopson (percussion) joins BROSH on “Every Player Wins,” and they’re all joined by Irene Kim (keyboards), as well as Rock & Roll Hall of Fame drummer Ilan Rubin (Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails), on “Tip the Cap.”

Rounding out the musicians on the album are Alex Argento (keyboards, synthesizers, mixes), Virgil Donati (drums), Hubert Gall (accordion), Tyreek Jackson (bass, Moog, mixes), Matt Laug (drums), and Nick Semrad (synthesizers).
