Tremorverse Records unveil a second track and artist to feature on their upcoming compilation album, introducing Liv McLean and her melodic groove bender, ‘New Pair Of Eyes’. After announcing the news of their third compilation album earlier this year, debuting Alex Garla’s beautifully dank groove ‘No Love’, Tremorverse are hitting the ground running to cement Tremorverse Three as one of their greatest comps to date with the arrival of Liv’s stunning new track.
‘New Pair Of Eyes’ highlights precisely what Liv McLean is known for; tight, flawless harmonies and warm, raspy vocals. In the shadow of a fractured world, Liv spent the majority of 2020 in incubation, developing her unique style and flourishing in creative growth. From writing and arranging new works, Liv recognises melodic phrases through her electric guitar and her vocals that create layering melodies and magical, eerie harmonies. Her flexibility to immerse herself into fusing and fine-tuning the world of psychedelic soul with jazz fusion is what makes Liv’s sound, and indeed ‘New Pair Of Eyes’, disparate from other artists’ work.
“New Pair of Eyes is based on shifting your perspective and rather than focusing on all the difficulties one might face, finding something positive to focus on to get out of a negative headspace.” – Liv McLean
Drawing inspiration from Moses Sumney, Solange, Lianne La Havas and Radiohead, Liv McLean weaves elements of psychedelia, funk, and dance grooves all connected by her exceptional voice. This year has already bought promising opportunities for Liv. Immersing herself in the local scene supporting other artists has led Liv to perform alongside the likes of Priscilla Stanley, Charlie McCosh and Quarterback, all of which have performed sold out shows at The Workers Club early this year. Additionally, having a weekly residency at the Sorrento Hotel alongside astounding guitarist Nick Vargas in February and March has significantly grown Liv’s dedicated fan base and status as a certified one-to-watch. Delve into the gorgeous bent grooves of Liv McLean’s ‘New Pair Of Eyes’ and keep an ear out for Tremorverse Three dropping this winter.

New Pair Of Eyes Lyrics
My eyes are getting pretty old
And my eyes can’t see what it is to unfold in front of them
When I watch the news, catching flight, rewrite then tag
And when I look around, there’s so much to prove
Wrestling word into my submission watching the world all under commission
I need a new pair of eyes shift my mind
Grappling under the knife
Do I choose to be safe or choose to fights
Widening out my perspective
Choosing to wipe out the negative
This ain’t no fantasy
My eyes they used to be less wise
But now my eyes are working with what they got right in front of them
What I see is not always what I get
So why not just look around
And dream of what I could get
Wrestling word into my submission watching the world all under commission
I need a new pair of eyes shift my mind
Grappling under the knife
Do I choose to be safe or choose to fights
Widening out my perspective
Choosing to wipe out the negative
This ain’t no fantasy
Open up your eyes
