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)
