The 4-piece band Hair releases “City Of Eyes” as a powerful critique of modern society. It features the pervasive influence of screens, advertising, and divisions. Comprised of Alec Alvarez, Dylan Nelson, Parker Biehn, and Arthur Siegel, we get a wholesome offers a commentary on the constant battle for our attention in the digital age.
The music glints with its vibrant mix of infectious and shimmering guitar melodies. The bounding drums grounds and propels the song to a deeper yet rebounding with higher heights. What pulls us are the thick and rich vocals. The anthemic and expressive tone of the vocals adds weight to the profound message embedded in the lyrics. The voice rakes as it has an echoing yet fulfilling taste as it ponders over the unrelenting guitar riffs. The band intentionally weaves modal and slightly angular prog/jazz elements into the rock track.
Recorded at Lost Canyon Studios, which carries the musical legacy of John Fogerty, “City Of Eyes” reflects the band’s reverence for riff-heavy classic rock. You can find out more about their sound from their influences like Deep Purple, Rush, Budgie, and the Move.
Hair proves to be as contemporarily socially conscientious as musically relevant and resounding with their astounding piece, “City Of Eyes.” Released on Oct 14, “City Of Eyes” with its compelling instrumentation and message is available on Spotify for unlimited listening.
