“Evolve IV presented with Grindie Award by RadioINDY”

“a deep, hard-hitting progressive/alternative rock CD. This album doesn't hold back the talent of the guitarists at all. The riffs and chords of the guitars and bass, combined with the laid back but heavy lead vocals, mixed with the cool drum tempos, show musicianship working at its best”

“ProgRock Records, affiliated with distribution giants SPV and Ryko, have signed Evolve IV and released “Decadent Light”. Known for their support of independent artists of the genre, Prog Rock records also signed big-time names Steve Walsh (from the band Kansas) & Nick D’Virgilio (Spock Beard)”

“Jerry Lucky, author of the highly-acclaimed book Progressive Rock Files describes Decadent Light as: “the essence of a classic progressive rock sound … with tunes that ebb and flow between fast and slow, intense and atmospheric, vocals and instrumental soloing"”

“I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone with a soft spot for the 70's and likes Camel, REM, Beatles, Bowie, Pink Floyd, or just likes good melodic prog rock or classic rock with a pop flavor. This band is indeed evolving quickly, so what are you waiting for?”

“Review from MusicTap: Rock can use more bands like Evolve IV and albums like Decadent light, a grand album in the classic sense. Decadent Light makes me feel like I’m twenty again. (Click link to read more)”

“Inventive, imaginative, and intriguing, Evolve IV have done what the band name says and developed a style brimming with chemistry.”

“A very solid start from a promising group that is establishing its own identifiable sound. For lovers of progressive rock that perceive this music as a blending of their favorite genre with other musical styles. Evolve IV are well placed to grow into one of the best modern art rock groups”

“There's an undeniable American-heartland feel to the concise melodic prog these guys produce…Intense, inventive and melodic…a triple-threat tour-de-force of solid musicianship, strong songcraft and remarkable production quality. Highly recommended.”

“If Progressive Rock consists in blending of different genres, well these guys do this with great style… an interesting fusion from simple mainstream to Heavy Prog, some sort of Symphonic with Jazzy leanings, ambient, a bit of Country hints, and even good classic Rock & Roll with Power ballads”

“More than any progressive rock CD in recent years, this is a very bright and cheerful CD. The songs are spontaneous and energetic, while secretly full of adventure and variety. That combined with two great guitarists provides you with an irresistible sound that doesn’t stand still”

“A beautiful album, where the mixture of styles is practiced with great ease. “Decadent Light” merges, with great effect, not just the progressive and classic, but also space rock and even country! United with a strong energy of two guitars, the melodies are accessible and effective”

“Evolve IV make their debut in the progressive scene with "Decadent Light", which is a modern approach to progressive rock... The album consists of eleven wonderful tracks with several changes in tempo and feel that keep the listener interested, with wonderful moments throughout”

“Refreshing, spontaneous and deliciously retro, with no other ambition than to be relaxing. Cool, man”

“Decadent Light is, in its very simplicity and tranquility, a beautiful and touching record... after several hearings one finds an album full of intimate moments. Some songs remind me of solo works by Joe Strummer (The Clash) that spread a pleasant atmosphere, between good humor and melancholy.”

“Evolve IV delve deeply into a more modern progressive source of inspiration, and mesh it together with a wide range of diverse influences. You won’t be disappointed by the musicianship and some of the originality.”

“There is no doubt that we have very good musicians, but their focus is not on playing as technically challenging as possible in order to prove their skills. The music often seems very easy to digest, but takes a few listenings to experience the small details, a big part of this album’s strength”

“Not a cliché tingled record, but one that exhibits its own identity. A modern sounding Progband that here and there sounds very impressive…for the open-minded progfan this is interesting to check out. 8 out of 10.”

“It is rock, but we see more touches of rural American music, Britpop, the funk, progressive, jazz, pop, rock symphonic, folk, psychedelia, art-rock...well I could go on! The good news is the way the two guitars define the sound. For those who love the guitar in its entirety, not just hard or metal.”

“The lead guitar of Peter Matuchniak is the rock upon which this album is built. It will not only put you in mind of so many past favourite styles but will stay with you, easily demanding second, third, and more listens as you marvel at the elasticity of his notes and its haunting prowess”

“melodic pop/rock with definite splashes of progressive and psychedelic rock..mainly guitar driven but keyboards, violin and saxophone add color to the whole affair. One of the big plusses are the vocals provided by Eager as he has a great melodic voice perfectly suited for this style of music”

“Although not entirely progressive sound, one does get a very beautiful work from the guitarists... one can hear elements, such as Led Zeppelin, quite often and I'm reminded of Pink Floyd during two songs that feature guest female singer, accented quite wonderfully”

“There is a complexity here, manifested in the musical interlude of progressive mold and capable of making Evolve IV’s first work an interesting beginning. A debut that would appeal to fans of Coldplay or Radiohead, as well as those who are still tied to the sounds of the Beatles and the Yes Album.”

“Evolve IV is a special case of progressive rock, it is a huge Pink Floyd clone. However I am talking about the young, psychedelic Floyd somewhere between Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets. Some songs are pretty good, such as the beautiful ballad War of the trippy Rolling Along”

“A much lighter, commercial version of prog can be found on “Decadent Light” the latest album from Evolve IV, an album of relaxed songs with some fine playing and a funky vibe, sounding like it would be right at home in 1976.”

“Multiple hearings trigger a sense of evolution. Increasingly I notice musical tidbits... several styles characterized by changing tempos, and the intense atmospheric vocal and instrumental parts. I recommended that one listen carefully to their CD, an easy thing to do given the quality of material”

“How would it sound if we cloned Rush's sound, Nirvana "Unplugged", a little country, Alice in Chains, REM, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, even Jethro Tull? The guitars dominate the sound between The Police’s Andy Summers and an instrument that is constantly going in and out of the atmosphere.”
