Boston’s The Noise reviews the ‘In the Light’ EP by Shifty Eye
SHIFTY EYE – IN THE LIGHT EP
75orLess Records
4 tracks
“In the Light” begins and continues with a brontosaurus sized riff—it’s heavy sludge metal which seems minimally produced—along the lines of a four-track demo. This lends to it a lo-fi charm which a more polished production might otherwise lack. “YDHTG” is a minimalistic “You Don’t Have to Go” lament; “Hot and Sour” has a mildly Hendrix-like feel; the best of show, the Sabbath-like “Echo,” gives us a drum-driven dirge underlined by, yes, echo, and a buzzing guitar line. This is bare-bones heavy metal; most of it sounds like vintage early 1970s. Students of HM from Blue Cheer on forward might want to give this a listen. – (Francis DiMenno)

Born on January 3rd, 2013 this two headed dragon crawled, fully formed, out of the Providence river; but instead of breathing fire and smoke, one head spews thick, crunchy guitar riffs and the other intense, thundering beats. The two moving together as one, melting the hearts and minds of each person fortunate to have crossed their path of destruction. The Providence, RI based rock duo have just released their debut EP, following in the minimalist footsteps of legendary two-piece rockers like the Flat Duo Jets, the White Stripes, and the Black Keys.
