In “Never[Silent] — In Frank’s Box” Bevins attempts to retro-engineer the experience of picking white noise voices (EVP) from the scanning of a Frank’s Box, AKA Ghost Box. Frank Sumption invented the device to allows people to receive messages from aliens and ghosts; but Bevins has the messages already and buries them in the noise that Sumption hoped to free them from.

Starting with recordings of his grandfather talking and singing made in the 80s and 90s, Bevins then layers warped tape loops, static walls, and otherworldly gurgling with broken drum sequences and fragmented melodies.

In this miasma of sound, Bevins and the listener are able to extract new Delphic messages from the dead. In this way the album is as much “music” as oracle, and the listener can choose to be the querent or the reader — or both. Considering that Bevins’ grandfather was a diviner, this oracular quality is appropriate even if it is divorced from its original context.

“This isn’t an album; it’s a tarot deck. Bevins is opening us up to a new form of sound magic.” — Bubba editor at WabiSabiZinez

“It’s a mess, but it’s the kind of mess you keep finding things in.” — Mikey Hope editor at Eldridge Almanac
