The Waking Eyes - Holding On to Whatever It Is
This band’s last CD, 2004’s Video Sound, was rich in Beatlesque melodies and Stooges-style riffs. In other words, the Winnipeg youngsters did their homework and crafted a tuneful sophomore album that deserved a B+ grade. But nothing quite prepares the listener for what awaits on the Waking Eyes’ latest assignment. Not content to recycle garage and psych-rock, the group has gone wildly kaleidoscopic with an inspired mix of styles that includes thrilling rock, dance, Latin and electronica elements. Top of the class.
