Bleary Eyed are a shoegaze band from Philadelphia, and so they certain do sound prefer it. On a brand new self-titled EP launched right this moment, the group places a barely poppier spin on the experimental dream-pop of acts like Knifeplay, TAGABOW, and Spirit Of The Beehive. Alex G’s tweaked melodious imaginative and prescient looms massive, as does, nicely, the whole historical past of the subgenre. This is an ain’t-broke-don’t-fix-it scenario, an skilled spinning of a wheel that doesn’t have to be reinvented. Call that damning with faint reward if you would like, however from the intricately layered vocals of opener “Run” to the racing distortion of “Tree,” these things is satisfying my shoegaze urge right this moment. Listen under.
Bleary Eyed is out now on Born Losers.
