Even As We Speak is an indie pop band hailing from Sydney, Australia, known for their mellifluous melodies and poignant lyrics. They first emerged on the music scene in the mid-1980s, initially making waves in the Australian indie circuit before earning international acclaim through their affiliation with the influential British indie label Sarah Records. Their sound is characterized by a seamless blend of pop sensibilities with a lo-fi charm, which has garnered them a devout fan base.

The period during the late '80s and early '90s saw their most prolific work, with releases like "Blue Suburban Skies" and "Adelphi" solidifying their reputation for crafting emotive, catchy tunes that resonate with a sense of earnestness and an unguarded heart. Although they disbanded in the mid-90s, their music endured, culminating in the compilation "Yellow Food: The Peel Sessions," which celebrated their BBC sessions with legendary DJ John Peel. The band re-emerged to the joy of their fans with a reunion in 2015, issuing "The Black Forest" EP in 2016 and following it with "Feral Pop Frenzy," a reminder of their enduring charm and a testament to their lasting impact on indie music. Their story is one of enduring artistry, unexpected comebacks, and a loyal fan base that continues to find solace and joy in their timeless sound.
