Live at Paste Studio - Charly Bliss
In November, Eva Hendricks and her band Charly Bliss (made up of Eva's brother and keyboardist Sam, guitarist Spencer Fox and bassist Dan Shure) lit up the Paste Studio with that incredible live spirit and three songs from their 2019 sophomore album Young Enough. Singles from the record included "Capacity" and "Chatroom," but for this session (the second for Paste in the band's history), the foursome opted for some deeper cuts: "Camera," "Hurt Me" and "The Truth." "Camera" is a song Hendricks wrote while on hold with her bank after her credit card was stolen and used to "buy a camera in California," Hendricks discloses after performing the song. And whether the thief would've used the camera to create a "masterpiece" or make "something sick and twisted," we'll never know, as Hendricks sings in this slightly paired-down version of the track.
