Same Eyes

Same Eyes is looking for the lost souls trapped in an eternal night life, the mystified riot that dismantles the cruelty of the modern age, the words that undo the heartache of every dream home. Formed in 2019 by Alex Hughes and Chad Pratt, Same Eyes grew from a shared, specifically multifaceted kind of musical enthusiasm into a sound that brought together the dark dreaminess of pioneering ambient rock acts with the blurred clarity that only exists in the atmosphere of a party in full swing at 3AM. Prolific studio output from the founding duo resulted in multiple albums in a short timeframe, and quickly expanded into a live experience that brought new angles to the band’s late night anthems of illumination and defeat. These songs are dense with layers, overlapping synth lines, and nearly subliminal countermelodies lurking deep in the mix. Pratt's dance music background accounts for the inventively crafted rhythmic samples most of the songs are built on. Floating somewhere atop the grooves, Hughes’ lyrics can take the form of fantastical depictions of high drama, hallucinogenic travelogs, or blunt emotional realism depending on the song. Much as Same Eyes’ instrumentals blur the lines between excitement and danger, the scenes painted in the lyrics show characters hanging in precarity, sometimes on the run from the consequences of their bad decisions and sometimes enjoying the show as everything around them burns. -Fred Thomas Email us: sameeyesmusic@gmail.com
