EYES ON YOU

Owing as many sonic ties to doo-wop and 1970s soul as to modern-day electronic music, Pandr Eyez is a London-based duo shaping the face of art-pop with a sound that's both stylish and sincere. Eyes on You, the debut EP for Cascine, is well balanced: dramatic, yet without baggage. There's intensity in the music, but never enough to take the fun out of the tracks. A sense of absolution exists here... a sense of letting it out, but it never becomes self-serving. Rather, dreamy songs are structured for easy export in the universal language of pop. Pandr Eyez is the bold voice of Ferren, and the production work of Tom, whose swelling, synth-rounded sounds are offset by others that are minimal and syncopated. Eyes on You is Pandr Eyez' first release, presented by experimental pop label Cascine. An album is in the works for next year.?
