Eyes Lips Eyes

Los Angeles-by-way-of-Utah foursome Eyes Lips Eyes are gearing up for the arrival of their EP, What You Want (If You Want) due out August 21 via Roll Call Records/ILG. Spinner proclaims, “Eyes Lips Eyes are going to make your day. It’s like LCD Soundsystem and Talking Heads had a baby.” Co-produced by the band alongside John Goodmanson (Death Cab for Cutie, Nada Surf) and mixed by Mike Roskelly (Kaskade), the disco-punk newcomers' 4-song release features upbeat, hook-laden songs that recall late seventies post-punk mixed with the unbridled night out energy of The Strokes. A full-length album is in the works for release early 2013.

Accurately summed up by MTV Buzzworthy, “Eyes Lips Eyes is a wild indie rock dance party. The band’s Friday-night-in-late-July vibes definitely come through…which sounds like the B-52s had a few frozen drinks and played spin the bottle with The Rapture and then crashed James Murphy’s DJ set on the S.S. Coachella.” Eyes Lips Eyes has been building a steady following since their debut project Blue Red – an ambitious year-long project that saw them self-releasing a song and correlating video every month for 12 months. The release earned them acclaim from the likes of Filter, Buzzbands.LA, and CNN, with the latter naming them one of their “Artists to Watch” at this year’s SXSW.

Eyes Lips Eyes was originally forged in the midst of Provo’s dance party scene, which shaped their live show into the high-energy, garbage can-banging performances they have become known for. In a few short years, they have performed all over the country, sharing the stage with acts like Modest Mouse, Spoon, The Raconteurs and more. In 2010, the foursome, consisting of Tony Hello (vocals), Spencer Petersen (guitar, vocals), Aaron Hatch (bass, vocals) and Thomas Carroll (drums), relocated to a warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles. Nicknamed “The Cube,” the band lives, rehearses, and records much of their work here, often in the midst of ongoing parties, the noise of which can often be caught in the background of their recordings.
