BIO:
A project rooted in Eau Claire, Wisconsin’s artistic soil, Evan Walton fronts Once More, Autumn. A transplant of Minneapolis and an alumnus of Berklee College of Music, Walton fuses indie folk elements with alternative textures. Propelled by the instrumentation of Jeremy Boettcher (S. Carey), Isaac John (Underneath Oceans), and Steve Shaw (The Bathtub Marys), the band melds atmospheric tones with lush, driving riffs. Paired with Walton’s introspective and emotive words, Once More, Autumn offers dynamic and earnest musical expression.
2025’s forthcoming EP “Foals” ushers in a return to live instrumentation and full band dynamics. The 5-track release marks a sonic shift for the band, but relies on familiar themes and depth. Foals is preceded by the 2023 single “Violet,” and 2021’s inaugural EP “Love is a Sea,” produced by longtime friend and collaborator Ro Lorenzen (Static Panic).

Lyrics
-
this modesty enabled
I'm creaking at the spine
your honest answer left what
you didn't have in mind
and we were foiled
like a storm, we're promised
and all the leaves would falland I was torn
we were numb
and like the passing of this shadow
we were running out of time
and out of touchthe quickening of time has
begun what I could not
the push, the pull, the rewind
the never ending thoughts
but I was young
and like the foals, you risked it
and chased the sun at endand I was torn
you were cold
and like the passing of this shadow
we were running out of time
and out of touch -
I can see it all
I can feel a balance
the color in between
days of evergreen
step into the light
lay it down beside me
somethings take so long
how can I keep waiting
when love is never waningwe don't have to talk
we don't have to listen
it's everything you are
with everything we've given
and love is never waningand it never seemed to matter
the rise and fall, the patterns
I'm nothing without consequence
and love is never waning -
take it to your church
there's nothing left
taken from afar and let it burn
I watched you fall
you turn your left, it's over
cut from the lines and steep to the head
this is nothingfallen from the north
another end
strayed from the light
and put to the shade again
I saw those eyes
you never knew you're nothing
passed from the night
in lowered time, it's somethingand I'm taking off, I’m taking off
and you're shaking in your boots
and the people taking cheap shots (oh, for now)
and you dance in the highlands
and rest in the morningoh my love, how we tried
oh my love, how we try -
there was a place
there was a day
there was a face
but it’s alright (momma)
it’s alright now
it’s all over now, it’s all over nowthere was a storm
there was a day
there was a way
but it’s alright (momma)
it’s alright now
it’s all over now, it’s all over nowI’ve given all I can
I am that I am
is this all (even after all?) -
burn it down, leave it all
something gives and you won’t take
and the hands are shaking (shaking now)
for talons and treadheed these words
rest assured, this was you
all my lies were only dreams
and the winds are closing (closing in)
for talons and treadheed these words
