Walking Bombs

WALKING BOMBS is the genre jumping solo/collaborative project of Hudson Valley, NY singer and music journalist Morgan Ywain Evans (and friends). Stay calm and don't explode.

"The band name is about discussing mental illness and culture divides. A kind of fuck you to hate and also a rebuke to people who have called me a loose cannon." - MYE.

Sphinges, Sibling Selves and Queens is an album about the riddle of identity in the modern world, the fight for authenticity and the horrors of an empathy free online culture, society and planet. It is about self exploration as liberation, being multi gender and about defeating partial pictures that lead to often willfully badly drawn conclusions.

"This album means a lot to me and is very personal," says Morgan Y. Evans aka WALKING BOMBS. "Not only do I have longtime guests like Dava She Wolf, Nate Kelley, Jay Andersen, and Alison Babylon on it who I have known for decades, but other amazing people as well. Kentro is my cousin, Globelamp is my partner, and the other guests are all more recent friends from different areas of my life who I am thrilled participated. I was really able to purge a lot of compartmentalized stuff about navigating feeling comfortable being non binary and the perception of others. Julie Catona, my good friend, captured this so incredibly in her nuanced and evocative cover artwork."

"The whole record is about the importance of a sort of cosmic social justice or at least the need for self-respect as well as topics like cultural bias, hostility, finding silver linings even when conquering bullying, and putting your best foot forward in the face of being judged for who you are not," Evans continues. "This one is pretty fun and has a range of influences: from Fear Factory and Skinny Puppy to Olympia K Records and folk/grunge influences; acoustic to grindcore; electronic music to post hardcore, stoner rock, and melodic punk, all make an appearence. And of course a little trombone as well."
