Recorded some 6-7 years prior to their following two LP's that I've posted and absent any L.A. Free Music Society connections at this early stage (at least that I'm aware of anyway....), this moody slab of post punk is very much guitarist John Dyer's baby and really goes some way toward demonstrating what he (as opposed to L.A.F.M.S. all-star Rick Potts) specifically brought to the picture on those later albums. While Solid Eye's subsequent work may have traded in the more buoyant and playful side of things (albeit in a languid fashion), this eponymous debut takes said languidness for a spin through somewhat more pensive and even solemn territories in a way thats rather haunting and who's potency is further compounded by the inclusion of tense little instrumental nuggets that hover in an eerie half-submerged netherworld not unlike Australia's Laughing Hands.
