On ‘Songbook’ The Lazy Eyes are showing off, offering the full kaleidoscope of their insane talent. It’s an invitation into a dreamy utopia of their own invention - and you’ll want to stay.
Their debut album isn't just about wah-wah guitar, motorik drumming, pixie vocals and the psych moves, though. It's packed with fully formed, memorable songs.
On ‘Songbook’, The Lazy Eyes deliver a debut album to become completely enamoured by and caught up in.
Australian psych-pop upstarts deliver sparkling, squiggly debut.
