January, 2015: A new year's hurricane is ravaging Bergen. Its aftermath
rips and tears into the Western Norwegian town for a week. In Broen Studio,
where Electric Eye are plugged in, the walls constantly shake from
lightning, thunder, violent downpours and wind. It probably isn't a
coincidence that "Different Sun", album number two from the quartet, is a
record full of fickle and dramatic energy. It's veritably crackling from
fuzz guitars and psychedelic organs. Electric Eye have definitely landed.
In the eye of the hurricane.
Through 40 minutes the listener is this time taken on seven journeys, all
drenched in tape echo, sitar sounds, backwards guitar solos, bongos and
monotonous fuzz bass. A dynamic rollercoaster where the landscape soon
fluctuates between open and calm desert moods, and then suddenly ignites
the rocket engines and leaves the atmosphere once and for all. The
Bergen-based group, consisting of Oystein Braut (guitar, vocals), Njal
Clementsen (bass), Anders Bjelland (keyboards) and Oyvind Hegg-Lunde
(drums), are thus following up their debut album "Pick-up, Lift-up, Space,
Time" from 2013 in a brilliant way.
That the phrase 'the journey is the goal' may seem tired doesnÆt make it
less truthful. For Electric Eye this is the fundament for their musical
existence. Long musical journeys in wide landscapes where the moods and the
overwhelming, absorbing and repeating themes play a key role. As a listener
you have two choices: either you're with it, or you leave it. With
"Different Sun" on the turntable, the choice is easy.
Electric Eye's own journey must be considered to be modest seen from a
universal perspective, but with the membersÆ previous experiences from
solid musical projects like The Megaphonic Thrift, The Low Frequency in
Stereo, Hypertext, The Alexandria Quartet and Junip, the quartet have built
for themselves ia well-constructed spaceship. "Different Sun" was mixed by
Anders Bjelland in Broen Studios and mastered in Duper Studio by the
honoured Jorgen Traen, so it sounds beautiful.
After their debut album the quartet received a lot of attention, especially
from abroad. The music press and the bloggers were effusive in their praise
of the band, who turned up on many best-of-the-year lists and were played a
lot on radio stations in the USA, England, Argentina, Mexico, Holland,
Denmark and Belgium. Electric Eye have drawn notice as a live band, too.
Since 2013 they've toured both Europe and the USA, plus participated in
music biz conferences like Eurosonic, SXSW, The Great Escape, Iceland
Airwaves and the Spot Festival in Denmark. The response has been
overwhelming - the biggest coming from the psychedelic music scene, who in
every way have had their eyesand ears opened to the band.
It's fully possible to hear traces of the golden psychedelic reveries of
the 60's and the lyrical and scenic progrock of the 70's in Electric Eye's
music. A dose of motoric, German sounds must be mentioned, plus Indian
drone music. But "Different Sun" is first and foremost proof of Electric
Eye as a band who in every way are present in the moment, where they guide
the listeners on a perpetual musical journey full of surprises. Fasten your
seatbelts and look for a different sun!
