Description

Title: A Colossal Waste Of Light
Artist: Eyelids
Label: Jealous Butcher
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 843563141373
Genre: Rock

Limited clear with purple smoke colored vinyl LP pressing. Includes digital download. A Colossal Waste of Light does an excellent job of framing the quintet as one of today's most compelling purveyors of lopsided guitar pop workouts and earworm-laden vocal melodies. It also proves that great guitar pop can still evoke favorites from a glorious past - the penetrating moodiness of XTC's Black Sea, or R.E.M.'s Fables of the Reconstruction, comes to mind - while refusing to waste time on idle nostalgia. On their 4th full-length album (but 17th vinyl offering if you include previous 7"s and EPs) the Portland, OR band also rediscover the beauty of firsts. A Colossal Waste of Light marks the first time the band wrote songs remotely ("it ended up being fun & weird to send out a very simple version of a song and see who came back first with another part for it", John Moen looks back), their first reunion at the Destination: Universe studio post-isolation, and their first batch of melodious new tunes since The Accidental Falls, the band's 2020 project with poet, lyricist and Tim Buckley collaborator Larry Beckett (an extra-ordinary pairing that allowed Eyelids' two frontmen/tunesmiths, Chris Slusarenko and John Moen, to find a new, multilayered appreciation for the art of songcraft).
