Echoboy - Automatic Eyes

Distorted vocals in the style of Beck, industrial rhythm sounds, a frisky bass and a furious acoustic guitar combine on this, the first slice of Echoboy's new record, Giraffe.

It's a warmed-up version of industrial pop, with breaks to build tension and a solid bass line holding it all together. It's the lyrics that provide the interest though - and maybe he distorted the vocals so they couldn't be heard as easily. "There's things that we might never know, there's things that we might never show each other, Although we're living by each other's side, I'd never breathe a word to you" he utters - it's almost like he's telling his best friend that he fancies him.

He likes adding effects to vocals, and if truth be known he's no great Caruso. But Automatic Eyes is the obvious, if noirish, choice of single for him - not least because it's different AND it rocks.
