another review of the {beautiful evidence} e.p.-
New Haven Advocate. 9-24-08

Atrina sounds like they mean it, with an earnestness matched by technical expertise and solid songwriting. This record is high-stakes. It bears the superficial markers of earnestness — deep, heavy riffing, a brooding and moody sensibility, haunted-sounding vocals and songs exclusively in minor keys — but it transcends superficiality. Singer Kelly L’Hereux sounds impassioned and entirely straightforward, her voice positioned low enough in the mix to create a compelling push-and-pull between vocals and band.

This dark stuff is thoroughly rocking, spooky, tuneful and direct, a collection of mid-tempo post-punk tunes from the depths that delivers. New Haven rocker boys, take note — L’Hereux’s not joking around, and she’s helping to trash the local scene’s in-joke-isms and to bring us in touch with something more universal in the process.

For what feels like, in retrospect, a glorious yet brief moment earlier this decade, Atrina was one of the most promising rock bands in town. Powerful and confident, they struck a balance between rock history and hipness, a kind of zeigeist-capturing cool.With a lineup of four vets of the regional rock scene, a muscular and moody sound that could be described as some sort of post-punk art-garage rock, and a handful of cracking songs, the band gigged around New Haven in support of the gritty and thoroughly rocking EP Searching for a Better Way, then…seemed to disappear. Atrina’s last gig was at Toad’s Place at the end of July 2003.
