After a string of sold out 7 inches, and their triple pressed EP ‘New Vietnam’ – ‘Radiant Eye’ marks CIVIC’s first release with Flightless Records. |
|
Turbo charged and full of heat, ‘Radiant Eye’ is a blazing cut of rock and roll that leaves nothing in the tank. Squalling feedback in tow, CIVIC craft this into their own beast – taming it under a wave of blistering riffs, howling saxophone, and searing vocals which propel the track with staunch conviction. They don’t tip-toe around the edges – but obliterate them with primal intensity. Driving and tenacious, but never losing sight of a good hook and how to use it. These clear garage smarts on full display with their B Side cover of The Creation, as they shake off the trebley grit for a more blasting version of the 1966 hit, ‘Making Time’. Catchy, conscious, and commanding from both sides of this ripping 7”. |
