Description

EYELAND will be available for pre-order beginning May 20th before arriving in stores and online retailers everywhere on June 17th. EYELAND marks the Low Anthems fourth full-length recording and first new music since 2011s SMART FLESH.

The Low Anthem return from an extraordinary five-year journey with EYELAND, an unprecedented collection of multi-dimensional future folk crafted with uncommon vision and emotional depth. The Providence, RI-based bands fifth full-length recording, EYELAND began as a vague and rather abstract short story by co-founder/singer/guitarist Ben Knox Miller, based around the sonic mythology of a moths dreams.

The tall tale became real life as Low Anthem immersed themselves in the creation of their own Eyeland Studios, developing Providences once obsolete Columbus Theatre into an innovative and in-demand recording space and live concert venue. EYELAND proves a prism of the albums inner themes, refracting Miller and co-founding drummer/multi-instrumentalist Jeff Prystowskys sonic escapades into a full-blown Möbius strip of music and meaning. Low Anthems lofty aspirations and creative capriciousness resonate throughout songs like The Pepsi Moon and Behind The Airport Mirror, their elegiac arrangements and lyrical frankness marked by shimmering ambience and a hauntingly defiant tension. Psychedelic in the truest sense of that overused word, EYELAND is a perspective-shifting musical experience at once elliptical and intangible yet still precise and powerfully personal.
