The Birmingham psych/pop duo launch into 2024 with a galloping pace mixing in a heady, eclectic mix of shoegaze, indie, sci-fi, spaghetti western and echoes of Ennio Morricone with a escape-themed track heralding their debut album and recorded in Texas last year after debuting at the SXSW festival. Their self-titled debut LP is out on 16 February. Frontman Glenn Smyth confirms: “Let’s Run Away was one of the last songs to be written on the album, it was written in Texas last March when we were out there playing South By. You can sort of hear it as well, there’s that Americana haze type sound. Spaghetti western vibe. I sort of had in my head – now this might sound a bit mad – Tracey Chapman ‘Fast Car’ – in essence. But with a Brummie slant. A Bonnie & Clyde type thing.”
Glenn Smyth and Sebastian Maynard Francis formed Solar Eyes in 2021. To explore and enjoy more more by them, including recent singles Top Of The World, and Naked Monkey On A Spaceship, see also the other embedded links below. Out on Fierce Panda Records.
