We get each other’s musical intentions without judgment, and when there’s disagreements about things, it’s not taken personally.
Through the years, do you feel that the band’s matured emotionally as musicians and collaborators?ĭaniel: Definitely. After we’re happy with the demos, we work on the songs with the band in person and it’s a much smoother process since the skeletons are already laid out. I find it better for us to work this way because there’s enough space and time to really think about the sections, without the pressure of another person in the room. I’ll come up with the instrumental demos alone in my room, and then send them over to Wahidah on Telegram for her to come up with her vocal parts. In a time when the local gig scene is still rubbing its eyes open following a seemingly unending slumber, this concert – and this outfit of scene-defining groundbreakers – is really what it needs.įor the songwriting, is it generally an isolated or collective process between band members?ĭaniel: It’s an isolated process.
To promote the stories behind Nature of Things and how it all came together, the band shares it all in this interview, weeks prior to their album launch event at the Esplanade Concert Hall on 6 February. Subsonic Eye is shattering that inertia thrillingly. Some bands never tread beyond their old tricks.
From the folk forays in its opening track to the chunks of ’90s alt-rock that present themselves on the record, these new territories fall into place for the continually evolving band.
#Subsonic eye full
But on their third release – once again heavily backed by respected label, Middle Class Cigars – Subsonic Eye sounds like they’ve had the muck and grime scrubbed away, revealing a cleaner, more radiant dynamic that flaunts a full ambit of possibilities. Replete with dense riffage, a rolling rhythm section and floaty, bendy vocals that cut through the wall of sound, their musical signature tends to sit within the centre of a triumvirate of noise-rock, shoegaze and dream-pop. Subsonic Eye’s sound has always been one of thickness.
