Atmospheric indie band Eyes to Argus have just released their third full-length album, Reroot (official release date: 19th July) and it’s available to stream on all streaming services. Once more, Eyes to Argus worked with record label Post. Recordings (Indianapolis, US) and the album was pressed on vinyl as a limited run, which is available through Bandcamp.
On Reroot, Eyes to Argus have a different energy compared to their 2021 album, in habit. The songs are more charged, more concise, and catchier than ever before. Yet, this is still an Eyes to Argus album through and through, and the band’s signature take on indie, shoegaze, and post-rock is on full display.
Reroot is about the trajectory of entering a new decade and getting used to the way it feels. It’s about moving into the next phase of your life with newfound energy and drive, all the while grappling with inevitable fatigue and burnout along the way.
It’s the same state of flux that Eyes to Argus went through when they wrote and recorded Reroot, with all members either traversing or fast approaching their thirties and coming face to face with the whirlwind of experiences that this brings – building new families, finding new homes, losing loved ones, and welcoming new life into the world. Prior to the full album release, Eyes to Argus dropped two singles from Reroot – Bloodstream Waterfall Cannonball, which was featured on WherePostRockDwells, and Your Piece.
Bloodstream Waterfall Cannonball is the opening track on Reroot, setting the tone of the album with an affirmative energy that waxes and wanes until the closing track Lifelift, which discovers affirmation beyond the self through the cycle of life, death, and life again.
The artwork for Reroot was created by Samwel Mallia using photographic elements by Elisa von Brockdorff and textures from Sam Falzon (Bainmarie).
The vinyl release includes an exclusive map of the World of Reroot – featuring terrain, landmarks, and characters inspired by the themes and lyrics on the album.
As part of the album’s release cycle, Eyes to Argus are currently playing a run of shows along the Midwest, concluding with a festival appearance on the 27th of July at Post. Festival (Indianapolis), which this year features monumental names in the post-rock scene such as This Willl Destroy You, Caspian, And So I Watch You From Afar, The Ocean, If These Trees Could Talk, and many more.
