TheseEyesRadiate - Crashing Waves (2021)

These Eyes Radiate "are not a band, [they] don't play live and [they]'re not coming to a town near you". This is, however, a solo project by Theo Yiannaki from London, a musician involved in such bands as Betazoids, Starhead or Feed the Wolf. And even if he's not going to play in a town near you, you can always check his first EP since 2012 under this moniker, called Crashing Waves.

It consists of three songs that are all about indie rock with big focus on noisy, very guitar-oriented backgrounds. It does feel a bit lo-fi in some places but the clue is there: it's supposed to be melodic and noisy at the same time. It's achieved with choruses based on short phrases that make their way to the audience minds immediately, as well as with double vocals in the ballad-like-turned-space-rock Into the Deep Blue Sea and some very powerful guitars in Stuck In The Back Of Your Mind. It's not really shoegaze or noise pop but it's close and I dig this sound.

Crashing Waves costs 3 GBP.
