Band: BRICKHOUSE
Who: Fresh hit team from Manchester that evokes the uncompromising static
of The Jesus and Mary Chain and the measured rebellion of The Velvet Underground.
Track: ANGEL EYES
It’s written by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Owain Sharp, on an acoustic guitar
in his childhood bedroom over a solitary Christmas. The song deals with the aftermath
of an ended relationship and the difficulty in separating the past from the present.
Sharp (vocalist/guitarist/songwriter): “Angel Eyes is, at its core, about being haunted.
Not in the supernatural sense, but rather the persistent melancholy. The lingering of
memories after losing a lover and being unsure as to how to help yourself let go and
be released from the curse of seeing someone in everybody else you meet.”
TUTV: Welcome to Brickhouse‘s remarkable debut belter. Angel Eyes is a psych-infused steamroller, going back-and-forth, motorized by alarming guitars, a pounding beat, jittery vocals, and a trenchant chorus that keeps coming back to haunt you with force – think
The Velvet’s Underground ripper ‘Run Run Run‘, but slower.
There’s a sort of anxious tension in the air throughout the song’s roller-coaster ride that creates a strong sense of traumatic hang-up, fed by a cathartically processing energy. Striking debut stroke, for sure. Don’t miss it, people.
