Wisconsin (USA) based dark electro solo-project Night Eyez announces 18 March 2022 as the international release date for a self-titled debut album, via Bright as Night Records. Night Eyez is a new creation of Jason Hartman, who is renown for Svart recording artists Vanishing Kids as well as being a frequent collaborator with Jex Thoth. With the aid of Travis Marks for recording and mastering, Night Eyez is largely a solo effort for Hartman and sees him indulging his darkest electro desires, spanning all sorts of idioms - witch house, squelchy EBM, trippy-hop, even industrialized stomp - but all done with his characteristically lysergic sensibilities.
Cool, calm, and collected, Hartman in his Night Eyez guise conveys the scintillating allure of night-time exploration and isolation, serving as both narrator and spectator here. His gilded, icy-hot synths swirl and swoon, making majestic his ruminations on urban decay. And just as he's revealing the olde metal/rock-oriented alter-ego Old Spirit, Night Eyez encompasses a lyricism that's characteristically Hartman.
Jason Hartman explains: "Lyrically, it seems I'm always writing about death or impermanence. Especially as I look back on the Night Eyez lyrics, it's all about that and also making the most of your time/life. I've kinda always written about that, but especially as I age, it becomes more prevalent. I don't try to force things too much; it just comes out the way it comes out. This is cliché, but if a listener is interested in the lyrical end of things, there should always be room for their own interpretation. It's a way to make it your own experience."
Equally recommended for those variously into Body Of Light, Ultravox, Massive Attack, and Actors, Night Eyez conjures a hypnotic spell with its self-titled debut. In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Sunset" below. Link
