Eva & Manu look like they might finish each other’s sentences. In an endearing way, they often look to each other before answering a question. Eva Louhivuori and Manu Laudic are a couple, of course. They met at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and two years into their degrees decided to run away together.
In France, where Manu is from, they bought a camper van and went on an adventure. They drove around Southern Europe, working on farms, sleeping in barns for seven months. Not so much to earn a living as to gain material for their songs.
Their eponymous debut album is the fruit of their travels. It’s a collection of songs that start off like soft acoustic singer-songwriter folk melodies, and grow into epic songs reminiscent of classic alternative rock, or even progressive end of Seventies rock music.
Sometimes you can hear the ghosts they encountered driving through the ancient Tuscan vineyards:
Eva & Manu’s album was released in Finland through Warner Music in August 2012. The album charted at No. 8 on the national TOP-50 album chart. Their gigs have been sold out almost everywhere they go and people fall in love with their music and story, one by one.
