Ever since I first heard<\/a> what Jesse and Sophie were cooking up as EYE BALL, I\u2019ve been waiting for this moment. And now that Gull Songs<\/em> has landed\u2014available on tape via Noise Merchant (UK) and Knuckles On Stun (USA)\u2014I\u2019ve had the pleasure of spinning it four times in the past hour (yes, it\u2019s that short), and it\u2019s everything I hoped for. Actually, more. I expected a compilation of the earlier EP and singles, but L.I.S.T.E.N.<\/em> is the only familiar track\u2014everything else is brand new and fresh as Daisies<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The eleven fresh cuts are mostly scrappy, snappy garage pop punk blasts like I Want a Pistol<\/em>, If She Were Me<\/em>, and Gum Song<\/em>. EYE BALL keep things short and lo-fi, like they\u2019re respecting your time\u2014or making a quick getaway before the cops show up. It\u2019s immediate, hooky, and done before you know it. But EYE BALL also show a new side with the alt pop leaning Daisies<\/em> and\u00a0 the furious hardcore of Gull Song<\/em>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s another twist: alongside the punk thrills, the band is out to redeem one of the world\u2019s most misunderstood creatures\u2014the gull. The tape comes with fun facts, reading tips, and a full-on charm offensive for these noisy, aggressive, and widely despised birds. Turns out Gull Songs<\/em> isn\u2019t just a banger\u2014it\u2019s a bird-positive manifesto.<\/p>\n
