An intriguing gem! (Review By Philip Goodfellow),
By Mr Magic Eyes (Weymouth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don't Sleep (Audio CD)
An impressively accomplished and well-crafted debut. Eye comprise of three musicians - lead singer Rick Hammond, guitarist Simon Swarbrick and drummer Andy Trimm - who all hail from England and cite the likes of Jethro Tull and Fairport Convention as influences (though the nod to Fairport Convention is perhaps somewhat obligatory, given that Simon Swarbrick is the cousin of Fairport Convention's Dave Swarbrick). The group's label, Pink Hedgehog, are clearly a patient bunch - it's apparently almost ten years since Eye released any material through them - but on the evidence of Don't Sleep, the wait seems to have been well worth it. Whilst there are easy comparisons to be made between the Englishness of Eye's sound and the likes of The Doves and Elbow at their most contemplative, the album itself is reminiscent of It's Heavy In Here by the wonderful Eric Matthews. Understated but assured and lovingly crafted throughout, Don't Sleep has that ever-elusive quality of, having seemingly almost passed you by on first listen, seeping into your unconscious to a degree that forces you back for more without you quite grasping what it is you're going back for. Once you have returned for more though, the beauty of tracks such as 'Sheep', 'No More Plastic' and 'Navigator' becomes apparent, and after several listens you're well and truly absorbed by what Eye have done with Don't Sleep. An intriguing gem.

Dreamy, velvety original tunes,
By Kathetique - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Don't Sleep (Audio CD)
Why do so many huge talents have to die young? Richard Hammond not only has a voice like velvet but an amazing creative flair. His tunes, his harmonies and orchestrations are all wonderful and unique. His music deserves much, much more recognition. If your indy music tastes tend toward the mellow and melacholic, you will love this album.
