Queer Indie Band Early Eyes Share Whimsical New Music Video, “Dying Plant”
Minneapolis based indie band Early Eyes have shared a new music video for track “Dying Plant” from their debut album ‘Look Alive!’ via Epitaph Records. Driven by a percussion based groove, the upbeat jam unfolds with a dexterous guitar riff and cathartic chanting during the hook. The DIY music video is as quirky and endearing as the individual band members, featuring a Muppet-style hand puppet and a very convincing old man costume.
Robyn Hitchcock shares classic new song/video; new album Oct 21
“Songs come to me alive and flickering, fresh from the lake of my subconscious. I’m a compulsive writer,” says Hitchcock. “‘The Raging Muse’ was written in Nashville in 2020. It began life as a sketchy home recording, just me and my old Telecaster – the same guitar I played on ELEMENT OF LIGHT back in 1986 – this time around faithfully engineered by Tubby and Ringo. Once I had the bones of the song, I sent it to my friend Davey Lane in Melbourne, who fleshed it out with spiky lead guitar, and then onto Charlie Francis in Cardiff, who added the melodramatic piano and bagpipes. The fish in the grass in this song are one of my many recurring dreams, I’m sure they’ll appear again soon.”

Arkells share ‘Teenage Tears” ft. Tegan and Sara
Says Consequence, “Indeed, with vocal harmonies that sound at home on a Justin Vernon project and an earnest embrace of teenage melodrama à la “drivers license,” Arkells have somehow successfully crossed i,i and SOUR. Throw in contributions from the legendary Tegan and Sara and you have a recipe for a robust, unabashed song complete with sparse piano and swirling synths.”
