Evan Brewer is an American bass
guitarist, best known for his work as part of progressive metal/technical death metal/metalcore bands such as The Faceless,
Animosity, Entheos, and Reflux. He has also, however,
released excellent solo work. His first solo album, “Alone”, is
truly a solo album and solely features sounds produced by Brewer using
electric bass guitars. The influence of the Wootens is clear
on this album, although it is effectively a funky western chamber music album, with influences from progressive rock/progressive metal. His
second solo album features performances by Navene Koperweis (Animals
as Leaders, Animosity, Entheos, Navene K) and
Jeremiah Abel, and incorporates electronic
influences into its progressive rock/jazz-funk sound. Both are highly unique albums that are worth
listening to, if only to see whether or not you like the unique things that
they have to offer.
