Xray Eyballs have announced their new album, Splendor Squalor, for release in February. The fuzzy, post-punk band from Brooklyn cites comparisons to The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Velvet Underground, while also appealing to lighter, sweeter sounds: the marriage of the dark side and the light side. It's garage rock on darkness overdrive, jangly and lively, reminiscent of the rhythm of Misfits-style rockabilly while staying true to the roots of garage. Xray Eyeballs create sonic orgasms that channel goth, garage, fuzz and post-punk into an indie-pop masterpiece.
“I just wanted to make every song sound like a lullaby. To me, lullabies are the most memorable kind of songs; everyone remembers them from when they’re babies. They’re not all happy lullabies either. I think people like songs they can relate to, with things like love, loss, dark vices, and sex,” said O.J. San Felipe.
Xray Eyeballs will release Splendor Squalor via Kanine Records on Feb. 28, 2012.
