The Waking Eyes have signed to Coalition/Warner and are burning up the charts with the single "Watch Your Money". "Combing The Clouds" was their debut for Endearing, an album that canoe.ca called a "nugget of neo-psychedelic perfection".
Editorial review
In both their previous incarnation as the Pets and their new collaboration as the Waking Eyes, Matt Peters and Myron Schulz have brilliantly articulated the notion of album as mix tape -- the sheer scope of their musical inspirations and aspirations is stunning, and though rooted in day-glo pop psychedelia, Combing the Clouds is far from a mere exercise in nostalgia, its songs running roughshod over pop history both recent and far-flung. Late-period Beatles, Todd Rundgren, and ELO are the most obvious reference points, but the record digs far deeper than that -- "Gone With a Glance" pays tribute to Queen; "New Rising Sun" conjures Cream; "Tergo Velum" evokes Bob Marley's "Redemption Song"; and "Sunday Morning Blues" is just that, an honest-to-God blues number. (And that's just for starters.) But far from amounting to less than the sum of its parts, Combing the Clouds manages to make its affections for rock's past relevant to contemporary demands: Even its hoariest clich?s are reinvented with postmodernist panache. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
The Waking Eyes have signed to Coalition/Warner and are burning up the charts with the single "Watch Your Money" from their forthcoming record which is slated for release on September 7. Their debut came out on Endearing in Spring of 2002, drawing on a diverse range of influences like the Beatles, Radiohead, The Strokes and Beethoven to create an album that Canoe.ca called a "nugget of neo-psychedelic perfection".
The Waking Eyes were formed in June of 2000 after the demise of the internationally acclaimed Steinbach band the Pets. After seeing their previous group posthumously lauded in publications like Q, the Sunday Times, The Boston Phoenix, the Guardian and Uncut, Matt Peters and Myron Schulz were eager to start a new group and record an album. The two recruited Winnipegger Rusty Matyas (Novillero, Duotang), borrowed a phrase from a Pink Floyd lyric for their name, acquired new and improved hardware and software, and started to record an album.
