Evergreen, the third single in kurt.riley+praxis' futuristic Chrome Empire phase, connects Riley's sci-fi vision of the decades to come with the present day in a way the artist could not have predicted.

Written in July 2018, Evergreen was slated for release in the spring of 2020. As production was underway, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world overnight - and gave new relevance to the song's content, which describes a dystopian world where food is scarce on store shelves, and individuals must don face masks while outdoors for their safety. Riley shot the music video in isolation, working remotely with his bandmates and New Vine Records to complete the audio from his home studio.
