Los Angeles-based indie rock band Breaks has once again demonstrated their musical prowess with the release of “Two Glass Eyes,” a standout track from their latest EP, “Hard Times.” Recorded over the span of a year at Screaming Leopard Studios in Hermosa Beach and Madqap Studios in North Hollywood, the EP showcases the band’s commitment to authentic, in-house production, resulting in a raw and gritty sound that resonates deeply with listeners.
“Two Glass Eyes” captivates with its melodic guitar foundation and dynamic rhythm section, creating a compelling backdrop for a narrative that delves into themes of love, intoxication, and recklessness. The song’s unembellished portrayal of life’s complexities offers a refreshing departure from idealized storytelling, inviting listeners to confront the raw emotions embedded within the lyrics. The track’s memorable motif serves as a guiding thread, leading the audience through a journey that ultimately centers on the profound essence of love.
Drawing inspiration from iconic bands such as The Clash, Velvet Underground, The Ramones, and Thin Lizzy, Breaks infuses “Two Glass Eyes” with a nostalgic yet contemporary energy. Their sound also reflects the influence of post-punk legends Joy Division and The Smiths, evident in the track’s introspective lyrics and atmospheric instrumentation. As Breaks plans to embark on a tour in 2025, “Two Glass Eyes” stands as a testament to their evolving artistry and promises an exciting future for both the band and their growing fanbase.
