Copenhagen’s Hardcore Outfit Eyes Marks a New Era with Upcoming Album “Spinner”
New Beginnings with Prosthetic Records
Copenhagen’s own hardcore band Eyes, which features members from the group LlNN, is stepping into a new chapter of their musical journey. Recently signed to Prosthetic Records, Eyes is gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated third album, Spinner, set to drop on April 25. The excitement builds with the release of the album’s lead single, “Better,” which is available now.
Embracing Growth and Resilience
The track “Better” has been described by vocalist Victor Kaas as a powerful proclamation of personal growth and resilience. Kaas shares, “Better is in many ways a statement of intention for the album. It’s short and intense. The song is about wanting to improve as a musician, as a band, as a person. But no matter what your intentions are, there will always be someone who will put you down. Sometimes that person is yourself.”
A Shift in Sound and Structure
With Spinner, Eyes is deliberately moving away from the chaotic noise that characterized their earlier work. This new album reflects a desire for a more structured and dynamic sound, aiming to produce a punchier and more groovy listening experience. However, even through this evolution, the music retains its suffocating and gut-punching intensity, as evidenced by the powerful single.
A Narrative Inspired by Anime and Manga
Kaas elaborates on the thematic elements of the album, describing it as unfolding like a “fictional early 80’s anime episode.” Throughout the ten tracks, a cast of characters emerges, each reflecting different aspects of Kaas’s personal experiences. He explains, “Spinner tells a loose story through the lens of a fictional early 80’s anime episode and introduces a cast of various characters throughout the 10 songs, all based on situations, states of mind, and personality traits of myself.”
Influences and Inspirations
One of the significant influences on the album is manga author Asano Inio, known for his works Goodnight Punpun and Dead Dead Demon’s De De De Destruction. According to Kaas, Spinner was created as a means to process traumas from youth and early adulthood, aiming to leave those struggles behind in a world reminiscent of the escapism he once sought.
