Bright and groovy, ‘Absinthe Eyes’ offers a slice of feel-good, sunny sonic material, the perfect match for the tail-end of summer. Evoking a warm sense of nostalgia and longing, the track builds its charming character over intricate, funk-infused guitar riff and polite drums, all drenched in a healthy serving of synths and textures. Quite a glorious outlook, further enhanced by the song’s catchiness and memorable melodies.
Penned by London-based creative Edho, ‘Absinthe Eyes’ greatly benefits from his stunning, malleable vocals, dancing on the track with confidence and wittiness. Inspired by a wide array of influences, the single connects the dots between the likes of Eric Satie and 80s funk-soul, researching a musical formula that feels authentic and unique.
Speaking about the lyricism behind the record, Edho explains: “Absinthe Eyes’ takes inspiration from impressionist paintings and late romantic piano music. The lyrics are evocative rather than descriptive and aim at reproducing that confused and euphoric state of mind which new love can bring”.
