Frau Eva is the love-child of Vanessa Degrassi, David Klinger, and Ben Usie. The band has just recently released its debut EP, Rip Out the Threads, which you can listen to and buy on BandCamp. You can also purchase a beautifully packaged version from the band at any of their shows.
Back home from their first tour, the band is working on arranging more songs for your ears and designing pretty things for your eyes.
"There's something very thoughtful and intentional about Frau Eva. The trio of Vanessa Degrassi, David Klinger and Ben Usie (singers and multi-instrumentalists, all) have clearly thought through every note, every lively "la da da," and every heartbreaking melody. No drumbeat seems misplaced. It's as if they took the bohemian spirit of Devendra Banhart, the pathos of Ben Gibbard and the meticulous arrangement of Grizzly Bear and turned these elements into their own soft-spoken anthems, referencing everything from Hermann Hesse to The Smiths. The songs on the their EP, Rip Out The Threads, can effectively soundtrack intimate moments alone."
