THE LAZY EYES RELEASE EP1 LISTEN TO LATEST SINGLE ‘THE SEASIDE’

Sydney four-piece The Lazy Eyes have today released their debut EP, EP1, out now independently. Listen HERE.

The release of their debut EP caps off an impressive opening half of the year for these 19-year olds who began 2020 having taken their buzz national with their much-talked-about BIGSOUND appearances in late 2019, being named as an act to watch by triple j, Happy Mag and more, before they had even released their debut single, ‘Cheesy Love Song’, which eventually landed in January, followed by ‘Tangerine’ in April.

The strength of their first two singles saw the foursome adorned with praise from DIY Mag, NME Australia, The Line of Best Fit, i-D, RAGE and more, scoring rotation additions across FBi Radio, SYN, 2SER, and others and bestowed with triple j Unearthed’s coveted feature artist slot for the last week of April. Within the space of six months, the four high school friends from Sydney have graduated from jamming in their suburban basement to word-of-mouth must-see-live-act in their hometown to one of the breakthrough Australian acts of the year.

Where their first two singles – one a dreamy, patiently unspooling piece of psychedelia and the other a kaleidoscopic pop blur climaxing in a blistering guitar solo – showed off divergent sides to the band, the previously unreleased ‘The Seaside’ condenses them into the one multi-part experience. Replete with constantly shifting instrumentation, slippery guitar tones, and the dream-logic structure of Brian Wilson’s most adventurous excursions, ‘The Seaside’ takes the adroit musicality of their previous singles and stretches it out to a sprawling, luxuriant, seven-minute journey.
