Evermotion is a studio album by the American alternative rock band Guster.[1][6] It was released on January 13, 2015, on both Ocho Mule, the band's own label, and Nettwerk Records.[7] It was their first album in five years, following Easy Wonderful in 2010.[8]

The album's title comes from a line in the song "Gangway" ("I'd lean into each turn seeking evermotion"). The first single from the album, "Simple Machine," was released on September 9, 2014, with the B-side track "Long Night." Guster stated on their website that they wanted to "become something else completely" with Evermotion.
