EYES OF OTHERS ONCE TWICE THRICE

Eyes Of Others is the studio alias of Edinburgh-based John Bryden, an artist who describes his output as "post-pub couldn’t get in the club". His latest track, ‘Once Twice Thrice’ is a deceptive banger about “a series of skirmishes I had with a cheap and nasty deodorant, not once, not twice, but thrice. I thought I smelled good but I didn’t. I never learned and lost loves over it.” His music avoids constraints, with slowly building layers of minimalistic electronics lulling the listener into a sense of euphoric security as his unique voice and tongue-in-cheek lyrics keep us entertained. The music video is the third in a trilogy directed by Niall Trask, shot in Norway, with Bryden taking on the challenge of submerging himself in freezing water. His self-titled debut album drops on May 19th, 2023. -Dan Peeke
