"Eyes of Light" by Awesome Color

















Now, this is how you do a side one track one. "Eyes of Light" kickstarts Awesome Color's second album with a psychedelic storm of piercing feedback, a flurry of drums, and a dark, sinister bass riff, and after taking in the first minute and a half, there's no question what comes next. More heavy riffing. Oh, guitarist Derek Stratton, will occasionally take a break or two from slaying during the verses and strum a menacing chord or two, but as the tension continues to mount, you know another dirty, Detroit-style guitar explosion is imminent. Care to guess what track two sounds like? I think I have pretty a good idea.

MP3: Awesome Color - Eyes of Light

Electric Aboriginies by Awesome Color will be out April 29th on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace Records.

Nice, this songs rips it up. American Dust is still selling the LP issue of the first release, nice red vinyl, go buy it and get pumped for this second release!

Derek's 'other' band were at the Tavern a couple of weeks ago (a 3 guitar attack) and they rocked. Highly recommended: Used to Be Women
---they have a self-released ep I picked up, but you can stream on MySpace
