Album Notes

Hunter Eves was born in a cubicle farm, nursed by a waterfall, raised by a swingset and trained as a kamikaze pianist. She has been singing for longer than she can remember. Her singing has caused great ethereal storms but she cannot seem to stop herself.

In her songs she is hiding in a cubby under the stairs, drifting out to sea on a melting iceberg or collecting swamp life in a tic tac box aquarium. In her writing she has a gift for distilling the infinite collisions of a random universe into subtle turns of phrase with engaging sincerity. Her piano playing borders on baroque with melodic complexity but her voice is pure, smooth and elemental. She is also known for her imaginative and fascinating experiments with electronic sounds. She uses all these tools with splashes of tenderness and fury to craft the millennial pop song.

A True Original
author: Iceman
With the voice of a haunted angel, and the fingers of caffeine addicted Tim Horton's junkie, Hunter Eves' sound wraps your imagination in an embryonic state of disillusionment. She does this with plenty of great imagery as well as incredibly organized placement of each and every sound she produces. Her ideas are both humanitarian as well as spiritual.Each song is an original idea that can only be viewed through prism coloured glasses, and wouldn't you only want it that way. A wonderful debut, can't wait to hear more from this blessed talent.

An as yet undiscovered gem.

Just a guy who wanted a new CD. I tripped up on Hunter Eves while browsing the internet, and it was a lovely moment. A welcome distraction. Hamilton is a lovely town, but Hunter should be heard in all places elsewhere. It would catch a town on fire.

Hunter Eves knows full well that groove is in both the heart and the head. With that in mind, the Hamilton-based songstress and self professed "kamikaze pianist" strikes a lush, sinuous chord of cryptic prog melodicism on her debut, Unopened Box: baroque beat-pop pluralism for the pensive and hostile alike. Roaming a sonic free zone somewhere between Kate Bush’s Kick Inside and Laurie Anderson’s Big Science, the kinetic Eves, whose liquid cool voice quivers with crystalline detachment throughout, is meditative and ethereal (not to mention creepy) one second, and downright confrontational the next, a switch she flips with nary a hint of pretension. She even shines as a sleek bona fide dance-floor diva (“Iceberg”), wisely shedding any and all extraneous Gwen-like pop bluster. Erratic but effective.
