With Burnt Tapes, Eves Karydas shows young female musicians a path beyond sexist industry expectations.
Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time.In October 2022, feeling ever more estranged from her decade-long run on the pop treadmill, Eves Karydas decided to set a flame to the whole thing.
The post went viral, striking a nerve in the local music industry. “More than anything, it just showed how quiet women feel a lot of the time,” Karydas says. “It’s such a specifically female experience, having your image be so raised onto a pedestal and used as the first thing people judge. It’s really frustrating. So to have so many people reach out to me was equal parts awesome and sad.
She saw an alternative possibility in the example of her close friends Cub Sport – the long independent Brisbane act who seemed to be thriving in a way that was genuinely themselves – and took the plunge. Beyond the music, Karydas is now responsible for her music videos, artwork design, press photos, and so on. “Fonts! I can’t tell you how much I’ve thought about fonts!” she says.
“With this album, I totally flipped that on its head and it was just me and this guy Jens , and we just jammed it out. I know that sounds really dad rock of me, but it’s what I wanted to do.”The approach feels aligned with pop’s wider moment. From Charli XCX’s plain-spoken stream-of-consciousness on, to SZA’s raw honesty, to Chappell Roan’s singular eccentricity, pop has reached a moment where imperfection is resonating with audiences.
