 Somewhere deep in the untamed wilds of MySpace, producers Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley discovered Evelyn Evelyn Neville—a pair of conjoined twins sharing three legs, two arms, three lungs, two hearts, and a single liver. The record is the story of Eva and Lyn, intermixed with Andrews Sisters style numbers. "Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn" is a straight-up cabaret gem, and opening track "Evelyn Evelyn" could fit as a bonus cut on 2008's Who Killed Amanda Palmer. The genre-hopping, which the sisters brag about early on, is often jarring—but Palmer and Webley assure their protégées acquit themselves nicely on country-tinged "You Only Want Me 'Cause You Want My Sister" and the '80s cheese of "My Space." Closing the album with a stripped-down version of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart," Evelyn and Evelyn prove that with or without their friends, they've got personality to spare.
– Frances Bean Cobain made her musical debut yesterday—albeit in cameo form—with the release of Evelyn Evelyn. “She’s got a great voice,” says Amanda Palmer, who put together the concept album with Jason Webley. The 17-year-old is featured on the track “My Space” along with other “really random people,” Palmer says, including Weird Al Yankovic, Tegan and Sara, and Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance, People reports. The album has “personality to spare,” writes Laura Studarus on Under the Radar, but as for Cobain, the proliferation of cameos on “My Space” means “it's impossible to pick out individual voices.” A blogger on The Ruckus calls the track a “power ballad” and says the album as a whole is “eccentric.” So will Cobain be following in her parents’ footsteps? Palmer isn’t so sure: “She's a really good visual artist. She's really interested in graphic novels.”
