The Lazy Eyes - EP2 (2021)

The Lazy Eyes: Sydney psychedelic rock upstarts bringing the escapist jams Every month in First On, we introduce a shit-hot artist you’d have no doubt seen opening the bill for your favourite act. The Lazy Eyes talk their Melody’s Echo Chamber-influenced ‘EP2’ and why they’re not afraid of the Tame Impala and King Gizzard comparisons.

Their second EP is being released at breakneck speed. It offers a more confident, expansive take on the psychedelic rock of ‘Cheesy Love Song’ or the hip-shaking groove of ‘Tangerine’, so it’s not a stretch to assume ‘EP2’ was created following the global attention that ‘EP1’ earned. Besides an outpouring of local support, the band were booked at taste-making festivals like SXSW in America and England’s The Great Escape. “We didn’t feel worthy”.
