Evan Voytas, ‘I Run With You, Spirit Animal’

Pennsylvania-bred, L.A.-based Evan Voytas makes spacey, whimsical synth-pop that borders on the cheeky, but there’s more than a little bit of soul in the series of EPs and singles he has self-released so far. Prior to his relocating to Los Angeles, Voytas apprenticed as a sideman for teen phenom Teddy Geiger; Voytas has an innate feel for a pop song’s workings but tinkers with the constructs like a gamer. He’s come a a long way in two-plus years in L.A., and with a (still-untitled) full-length album finished, it’s a good bet some record labels will be sniffing around very soon.
