Ahead of the quartet flying across the pond for for their first outing in the United States, Brighton quartet The New Eves have shared their latest single 'Astrolabe', released collaboratively via Slow Dance Records and Broadside Hacks. Here, similar in the best of ways to their visionary previous singles 'Mother' and 'Original Sin, The New Eves intertwine folk pastoralism with 70s art punk and hints of its predecessor, the elemental side of garage rock.
The quartet's impassioned, harmonious chanting takes on a mystical quality making the track something of a mantra for the sun gods themselves. The New Eves' music consistently embraces the celestial and spiritual, with their garage leanings forming an Earthly connection. The result sounds something like The Velvet Underground soundtracking The Wickerman.
If SXSW is a little too far to go to but you wanted to check what the fuss is all about, The New Eves will be taking their theatrical folk freakout live show to a number of festivals this Spring season, with slots booked at Ritual Union in Bristol this March, Fair Play Festival in Manchester in April, and a hometown stop at The Great Festival in Brighton in May.
