“SFIS(A)” by Horse-Eyed Men sounds like some kind of strange country version of a Jimmy Buffet song if it were recorded in outer space–and I intend for that to be as much of a compliment as the band (and any readers) will allow. The first time I heard the song, I thought these guys were a weird bunch, but after listening to the track a few times, it has definitely grown on me. They did a great job with production on this track–the reverb on the guitars, airy backing-vocals–they certainly captured the “sh**-faced in space” idea that the chorus professes. I also liked their decision to record in a large theatre–I think that really helped give a big, open sound to the song.
