Prettiest Eyes is the sci-fi Puerto Rican-Mexican-via-L.A. space-punk trio—including lead vocalist and drummer Pachy Garcia, bassist Marcos Rodriguez and keyboardist/electronics manipulator/vocalist Paco Casanova. Prettiest Eyes make crazed, paranoid psych, the kind that sounds like climbing the walls (in a good way). The searing atonalism on Pools is equal parts narcotic invocation, and dissociated garage punk. I suppose some will call it art-rock but that would assign to it an intellectual connotation far removed from its beastly physicality. FCC: 11 Like: Creation Factory, Flat Worms, Campo-Formio, Sextile Play: 1, 2, 5, 8 1.Don't Call (3:30) - Cosmic noise garage. 2.Mira Nena (3:13) - Psychedelic proto-punk from the future. 3.Pools (3:24) - Outwardly paranoid psych-punk. 4.No Hands Pete (3:19) - Slow tempo, dark zombie marching band. 5.Dandy (2:26) - Pure 70’s garage with a space-y touch. 6.Untitled (2:52) - Dissociated garage punk. 7.See Saw (4:43) - Monstrous bass, keys and vocals from another dimension. 8.Gold Snake (2:56) - Weird punk, disengaged but wicked. 9.Let Me Touch (3:10) - Dirty science fiction, dark and beautiful. 10.Prance (2:18) - Sleazy, sludgy, psychedelic, garage punk rock. 11.Uncut (3:18) - Industrial, post-punk from space. 12.A Sweet Song (5:30) - Psychedelic melodies of the mid 1960s. | ||
