Evans joined YACHT in 2008 after sharing a "mystical experience" with collaborator Jona Bechtolt, and has recorded three albums, See Mystery Lights, Shangri-La, and I Thought the Future Would Be Cooler with Bechtolt.[2] She also appeared as a guest on YACHT's third album, I Believe in You. Your Magic Is Real. Known for her androgynous onstage persona as a performer, she has been called a "neo-Annie Lennox" by the New York Times.[1] NPR music journalist Bob Boilen has referred to her as "one of the most striking performers I've seen in a rock band."[3]

In addition, Evans is a journalist and author of Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet.

In August 2013, she became the editor-in-chief of OMNI Reboot, a new online version of the science magazine OMNI.[7] She is currently the Futures Editor of Motherboard, Vice (magazine)'s technology and science website.

She is a member of the feminist collective Deep Lab.[8] She is the creator of the App "5 Every Day." [9]
