Into It. Over It.: "It’s honest. It’s real. It’s tangible"

Into It. Over It. have been creating and playing music for almost a decade; consistently developing and shaping their sound, helping to push the underground emo revival to the surface. Third album, ‘Standards’, sees main-man Evan Weiss tread new waters to create a truly honest record that will only push the band further. “Recording to tape and working with John Vanderslice has completely changed my perspective when it comes to creating art and what it means for music to be exciting again,” states Evan, as he’s quizzed on the recording process. Unlike the band’s previous records, this album was recorded straight to tape. “It’s honest. It’s real. It’s tangible,” he says. And from the first twinge of the acoustic guitar on opener, ‘Open Casket’, Evan’s notion is proven true. Everything from the natural guitar sound to the direct, no-nonsense lyrics, feels right; nothing sounds forced. “It’s an infinite landscape of knowledge to begin to experience. It will never sound dated. I am going to have a very hard time retuning to the use of computers when it comes to IIOI-related material in the future.”
