Intricate guitar patterns and conversational storytelling that capture the restless energy of your twenties. Midwest emo with a sophisticated, mathy edge.
Into It. Over It. sounds like the internal monologue of someone who pays too much attention to the details of their own life. It is built on a foundation of 'twinkly' guitar work - clean, interlocking melodies that use tapping and open tunings to create a shimmering, complex web of sound. Evan Weiss’s voice is remarkably grounded, eschewing the histrionics of early-2000s emo for a dry, intimate delivery that feels like he’s telling you a story over a beer.
What makes the project distinctive is the sheer technicality hidden beneath the approachable indie-rock exterior. The rhythm section often plays in shifting time signatures that keep the listener slightly off-balance, while the lyrics focus on hyper-specific locations and moments in time. It is music that feels both deeply personal and academically rigorous, blending the DIY spirit of the basement show with the precision of a studio obsessive.
Start with 'Intersections' if you want to hear the project at its most polished and cohesive. For those who prefer the raw, prolific energy of the emo revival's early days, '52 Weeks' offers a sprawling look at Weiss's ability to turn any fleeting thought into a fully realized song.
Into It. Over It. is an indie rock band founded in 2007 as the solo project of Chicago, Illinois-based musician Evan Thomas Weiss. It is a leading act of the early-2010s emo revival scene.
