Although The War On Drugs may come to mind when you see the title “Red Eyes,” make no mistake, Washington D.C. natives The Sea Life make a worthy claim to steal that spotlight for themselves.
It opens with a Bright Eyes-like emotional vocal performance that builds into something soul-splitting and passionate, something that sounds great and rings true. Their rocking feels raw and emotive, like a combination of Cymbals Eat Guitars and old school Arcade Fire, and you better believe that’s a compliment.
“Red Eyes” is taken off of the band’s self-titled debut album, which Babe City Records released this May. Stream the killer track below and if you like what you hear, go stream the rest of the album at their bandcamp page.
