Evade is an electronic trio from the streets of Macau, a city where old worlds and new collide, and the echoes of Hong Kong’s rich film and music history still hum in the air. Formed in 2004, this band is a reimagined chaos of Hong Kong and Macau’s golden era. But Evade isn’t about nostalgia — it’s about what happens when the past collides with the present to create something uniquely their own.
Sonia Ka Ian Lao’s vocals float like whispered memories, while Brandon L’s guitar slashes through the ambient haze, and Faye Choi’s loops and samples twist into shapes unseen. They’ve taken the influence of their origins and combined it with elements of UK shoegaze and dreampop, making it their own. The result is a unique space where progressive electronics, post-dubstep rhythms, and pop that feels both distant and intimate converge.
