With Eye Contact, New York’s art world audio auteurs make their return with a sonic thrust into the sublime. Hitting the web with no less than an eleven-minute lead-in track, “Glass Jar,” vocalist Lizzi Bougatsos and bandmates Brian Degraw, Josh Diamond, and Jesse Lee boldly establish themselves as masters of their soundscape, leading listeners through a woozy and wondrous window to euphoria. The following nine tracks (three of which have “∞” in the title) offer a shimmering, psychoactive feast, including heavy synth ambiance, intuitive tribal drum flourishes, and melodic multi-instrumental techno crescendo. Ascendant and transcendent, Eye Contact, out on May 10th, concludes with a hoarse digitized decree that reinforces the motif of infinity: “LIVE FOREVER.”
