Budding band Tomato Soup release a new jam, “Half Evil.” The Denver-based group continue with their distinctive blend of Americana and Folk Rock, but “Half Evil” dives into a unique topical blend of mythology, psychology, and spiritualism. The sonic and thematic splice makes for an ultra-captivating record.
“Half Evil” is an emotive track that is ultimately about finding and searching for identity and belonging. “It fuses classical mythology, Jungian psychology, spiritual yearning, and contemporary disillusionment into a haunting meditation on identity and belonging.” Tomato Soup continue, “The track moves between the cosmic and personal, drawing on influences as varied as T.S. Eliot’s modernist fragmentation, Leonard Cohen’s lyrical mysticism, David Bowie’s shape-shifting theatricality, and Carl Jung’s archetypal symbolism.”
The lyrics within the song are resonating and palpable, and highlight the band’s songwriting prowess. The song followed Tomato Soup’s first single of 2025, “Lesbian Thespian.” “Half Evil” is fully good and a song that one cannot help but play over and over again.
