Rough Demos by Lazyeyes (Brooklyn, New York) *
Being able to debut new music is something I count as a privilege, so I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that I get this right. Lazyeyes are a fresh new band from Brooklyn who are showcasing what frontman, Jason Abrishami, describes as “a beautiful wall of sound”. He continues, saying “Alex, Paul and I wanted to create a very powerful sound that would both translate very well live or recorded.” ‘Weight‘ is a perfect representation of this concept. I love how they call this a “rough demo”. In my mind, there is nothing that sounds more pure than something self recorded. There’s a magnetism underneath the vocals and guitars that make you focus on those 2 minutes and 54 seconds as if it’s the last bit of sound you’re ever going to hear. Not only are Lazyeyes sweet but they have a hint of lust. Something that makes me think their music is going to be very popular in the heat of the summer. With an EP due within the next couple of months, it seems selfish of me to say that I’m not satisfied with just one track. I should be patient…..oh well, I can deal with being called selfish. @LeahLovecat
