Into It. Over It.

The recording project of Chicago-based songwriter Evan Weiss, Into It. Over It. finds the prolific emo-pop veteran of numerous bands (Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start, Labour, Map the Growth, the Funeral Bird, Hiroshima Mon'Amour, and Sleeper Agents, to name a few) striking out on his own. With Into It. Over It., Weiss blends well-crafted pop with a literate, introspective lyrical stance and vocals that acknowledge angst without surrendering to it. He launched Into It. Over It. with 2009's 52 Weeks, and he hit his stride as a composer and arranger with 2013's Intersections and 2016's Standards. 2023's 15 Years took a second look at some of the 52 Weeks material, and 2024's Interesting Decisions was a well-crafted collection of glossy emo-pop gathering IIOI's output from 2020 to 2023.
