Shrimp Eyes – “Birds”
For the birds, this track is not! “Birds” is the newest from South East London based Shrimp Eyes. Giving me the unfortunate task of having to think about the eyes of shrimp is most certainly tempered by being catchy as fuck. Falsetto-y (except not, because people clearly practice singing) lyrics combine with a dope bass and some absolutely fucking understated guitar lines. Just when you think you have it figured out the guitar takes the center stage of the track and does some proto-soloing that makes your head turn.
You can hear “Birds” below from Soundcloud and over on Spotify. The other three fourths of their Wondering EP can be in the same locations. Definitely a band to keep an eye out for; BBC, Spotify, and Apple Music also seem to think they’re hot shit. Oh and so do we. We’re pretty important too.
