“It’s About To Go Down” b/w “Polar Bear”
Out Feb. 1st 2019
Chunklet Industries
1st Pressing limited to 250 Copies
"With more than a hint of the Beatles, drenched in three West Coast guitars and as great as any alt American record gets."
– Chris Hawkins, BBC6 Radio
“As all great concerts do, the evening’s set list ebbed and flowed between up-tempo, high-energy tunes contrasted with mellower songs, ultimately culminating in a sonic maelstrom that saw guitarist John Moen wading into the crowd to hang his guitar around a startled fan’s neck in a definitive act of audience participation.” – Parklife, DC
Portland Oregon’s EYELIDS are releasing their new 7” (and 11th vinyl release within their 5 year history!) via the legendary Chunklet Industries (Zach Galifianakis, Pylon, the Olivia Tremor Control, Apples In Stereo). Bringing together what Eyelids does best matching beautiful music to bummer vibes or what they simply call “lopsided rock”. We think it’s their catchiest release to date but it also has the heaviest lyrical weight to date capturing the current mood of hope and hopelessness.
The band is also putting out the new record to lead into their extensive 2019 touring schedule and both songs are exclusive to this 7” (their 3rd full length, “The Accidental Falls”, was produced by Peter Buck of R.E.M. and will be out Fall 2019). They also have a new video to go with this 7” (their previous ones have premiered on pitchfork, tidal, big takeover and mojo) and will be premiering before street date.
Eyelids were formed from members of Guided By Voices, The Decemberists, Malkmus/Jicks & Elliott Smith’s band. They’ve toured all over the world with Dream Syndicate, The Charlatans, Rain Parade, The Cribs, The Drive-By Truckers and Fruit Bats.
