Solar Eyes: Solar Eyes - Instore Gig

We're excited to have UK duo Solar Eyes play an exclusive in-store show at Rough Trade Berlin on Thursday, 7th November 2024.

Solar Eyes is the project of Birmingham duo Glenn Smyth and Sebastian Maynard Francis and the self-titled debut from the duo delivers a suite of technicoloured tunes that stretch across acid-dipped sonic landscapes and blissed-out melodies. Recalling trippy trailblazers from Primal Scream to the Chemical Brothers, Spacemen 3 to Spector-ish productions; these 12 psych-dappled songs will stimulate the senses and envelop you in their pop-preened charms.

Elsewhere on the record, the duo reach into topics as far-flung as metaphorical prisons, to unsavoury past acquaintances, the thrill of new-found love, to famous last words; highlights include “Deep Trip”, “Dreaming of the Moon”, and “Acid Test (The Walls are Closing In On Me)”. Produced by Tom Ford alongside Solar Eyes, the album was mastered by Streaky, with additional mixing and mastering by Jeff Knowler.

Releasing their debut album via the Fierce Panda earlier this year, Solar Eyes will embark on a UK in October and play two shows in Berlin in November, including this Rough Trade instore.

Presented by Rough Trade Europe.
