PHOTAY / WAKING HOURS – LP – 33 & 1/3 Record Distributors

Waking Hours, by Photay (aka Evan Shornstein), is a meditation on time and our obsessive need to actively fill each moment. The NYC natives search for calm is at the albums very core; while he admits it was therapeutic to create, its not to be mistaken for a healing excursion. Largely electronic, frequents on the verge pop; extensively features Evans own vocals. Sonically intimate and inviting, it suggests Photay is perhaps at his best when blurring genre lines.
