NYC shoegazers Lazyeyes play Pianos on 12.08

Though relative newcomers to the burgeoning Brooklyn music scene, Lazyeyes features former Twees frontman Jason Abrishami on lead vocals, and presumably some guitar too. Though likable as his former band was, this project’s new direction is a welcome development. Current release "Wait" (streaming below) wraps itself in a lush atmospheric bed, as butterfly high-hat percussion syncopates between dueling open note arpeggios and rising guitar melody lines. The vocals are impressionist colors against pastel blue and pink skies. Previous track "Nostalgia" is paced a bit quicker as more distinctly dominant guitar riffs drive to a delightful instrumental conclusion. Iconic 90’s bands like Ride through present day jammers Diiv act as reference points. Lazyeyes will play Pianos on December 08. – Dave Cromwell
