Description
Debut full-length cassette from this great new post-punk band out of Melbourne, Australia.
Our take: 8-song cassette release from this Australian band, and I believe its intended as a full-length album rather than a demo release. With a bass-heavy sound, a chorus effect on guitar, and a vocalist who sounds vaguely like Ian Curtis its easy to pigeonhole this as post-punk, but Eyesres have their own take on the sound. Like a lot of my favorite post-punk and goth bands, Eyesres dont overplay the whole brooding darkness thing. A lot of their songs have bright and melodic chord progressions, reminding me of how the Chameleons or Siouxsies best stuff sounded like a haunted version of pop music. Eyesres also sequence the album well, with the climactic Golden Soil (a six-plus minute track that has some of Eddy Current Suppression Rings meandering brilliance) leading into three punchier, punkier tracks to close the album with a final adrenaline rush. If youre a fan of Total Controls first LP or Constant Mongrel, theres a good chance youll enjoy this too.
