Carla Bozulich, former vocalist in the Geraldine Fibbers, Invisible Chains and more, has spent the last few years focused on her Evangelista project, a collective of Montreal musicians (including the majority of Constellation lynchpins Thee Silver Mt Zion). Last year she released the project’s greatest record to date, the stunning Hello Voyager.

On October 5 they’ll follow it with The Prince of Truth, a new LP for Constellation. According to Carla, it "invite[es] the listener to come clean, to defy or just be near people you believe in, to sit down, all of us together and make sense of the fact that there is no logic and perhaps no Truth at the base of anything, that we must open up and up and up because if we do not we are just fish gone belly-up in the stream – there is a Prince inside us that will grow into nothing more or less than an everyday person moving free, armed with the salvation of sound and love."

And according to the label, "song structure is mostly absent – the pieces are built from an extremely diverse set of sound sources, taking shape through layers of accumulation and juxtaposition, foreground and background, sudden shifts, suspensions and dissolutions – and Carla’s commanding voice and brilliant lyrics." Sounds promising.

Anyway, London folk will have a chance to experience the Prince of Truth material in the flesh when Evangelista play a one-off date in the capital courtesy of The Local, on October 13 at Dalton’s Café Oto. Tickets are £7.50 and available from the usual outlets.
