Just Like Fire marks the highly anticipated return of E.VAX, the solo project of Evan Mast from Ratatat, with a bold and immersive new album that blends electronic, indie and experimental pop into a deeply textured collection. Known for his work as one half of Ratatat, E.VAX has long been recognised for crafting intricate, genre-defying soundscapes built around melody, rhythm and atmosphere. On Just Like Fire, he pushes further into a personal and cinematic space, pairing atmospheric electronics with sharp melodic hooks and layered production. Featuring standout tracks including BEO, When I’m Gone and Say, the album balances introspective songwriting with expansive arrangements. Across both sides, synth textures, subtle vocal details and rhythm-driven structures create a sound that feels intimate, widescreen and built for repeat listening. Pressed on black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve, Just Like Fire is essential for fans of Ratatat, electronic indie, experimental pop and modern synth-driven music.
