Eye Travel is what it would sound like if The Tallest Man On Earth, Fleet Foxes, Cat Stevens and Daniel Gilbert (Håkan Hellström’s former guitar player) would come together and form a super group.
The sound image is large, with the echoing bass drums, strumming guitars, against the Yusuf Islam inspired vocals. The music tends to take its listener on a haunting journey through the seasons and its surroundings, sucking you into a fantastical world. The sound is the perfect way to live in the moment, in the here and now. What more could you ask for?
Eye Travel is as exciting as it’s name, which is why Obaren should be filled to the brim this Wednesday night. And the best part is…. it’s free starting from 21:00!
Words by David Johansson
Eye Travel plays at Obaren on 8 January.
