If you’re at all like us, you love going out and checking out new restaurants, having cocktails with friends (usually 1-4 too many), and exploring all that the city (Chicago in our case) has to offer. Personally, I’m not a big fan of “the scene” and tend to be immediately put off by overt trends and those who follow them too closely. Where am I going with this, you ask?
Some restaurants and lounges, whether trendy or not, really know how to set the mood via music and decor. There’s nothing inherently groundbreaking about a minimalist sushi restaurant playing downtempo house while you sip Saketinis, but damn if it ain’t enjoyable. Enter Evan Marc.
Listening to Evan Marc’s Emotional Ecology is akin to dining al fresco at the aforementioned sushi lounge on a balmy summer night. The album is sexy, warm, thought-provoking and inspiring, chocked full of beats just heavy enough to give you the urge to dance but reserved enough to relegate said dancing to your Bertoia side chair. Turn it on, turn it up to 7, grab a cocktail and enjoy.
