Baltimore’s premiere psych rock band, The Flying Eyes have released two B-sides from their upcoming album, Lowlands, which is due out later this year. The new B- sides, Raise Hell and Break You Down are foreshadows of what is to come in regards to the The Flying Eyes full-length effort.
These tracks are intricately produced, and convey a more mature aesthetic that persistently and respectably reaches towards professional standards. Both songs are less about love and loss as their work has reflected in their past albums, and brings forth a darker, more complex side of the band by strongly and unabashedly conveying their long time quip and distaste for God and religion in the lyrics of Raise Hell, and a more in depth expression of pain and isolation in Break You Down. The Flying Eyes’ instrumatation has also gone through a steady and noticable evolution without straying far from the band’s foundational sound.
You can catch The Flying Eyes live, as they are playing a string of shows in the Baltimore area this Spring. –je
