Our Take

Frog Eyes' latest offering, "Carey's Cold Spring," is a swirling, psychedelic journey through a kaleidoscope of sound. Frontman Carey Mercer's haunting vocals glide over intricate guitar riffs and pulsating drums, creating a sonic tapestry that is both mesmerizing and disorienting in equal measure.

The album opens with the frenetic "Good News Blues," a rollicking ode to chaos and confusion that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, tracks like "Pay for Fire" and "Sleek as the Day is Done" showcase Mercer's lyrical prowess, weaving intricate narratives that are as cryptic as they are captivating.

But it's not just Mercer's words that stand out on "Carey's Cold Spring." The band's musicianship is top-notch, with intricate arrangements and unexpected shifts in tempo keeping listeners on their toes throughout the album.

While some may find Frog Eyes' avant-garde approach challenging, those willing to dive into the depths of "Carey's Cold Spring" will be rewarded with a truly unique listening experience that is as exhilarating as it is enigmatic. In a musical landscape dominated by formulaic pop hits, Frog Eyes stand out as true innovators, pushing boundaries and challenging conventions with every note. So buckle up, dear reader, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the twisted minds of one of music's most daring and original bands.
