Evil play takes the listener through a dark and claustrophobic ambient landscape that is at once both familiar and unsettling.

The music is characterized by a slow and deliberate pace, with downbeat rhythms and atmospheric textures. The EP starts off with a sense of beauty and calmness but as the tracks progresses the dark undertones becomes more present. The melodies become haunting, and the listener is drawn deeper into the soundscape – like a childhood nightmare.
