This week's PBS Feature Album is Out Of Focus, the new expansive psych-rock album from Grinding Eyes.
Forming in 2016 and named after a 1960s Spanish B-grade horror film, Grinding Eyes have always played the long game, carefully constructing sonically dense and dynamically expansive albums. Out Of Focus is a thundering ride through waves of droning guitars, lush melodic hooks and driving kraut inspired repetition.
The eight pulsing tracks were recorded by Paul Maybury (The Secret Location Sound Recorders) to analog tape and mixed by Evan Foster (Iggy Pop, Mudhoney, Boss Martians), expanding on sonic territory previously explored on the 2021 album Taste The Monochrome. The group have clocked up the miles touring internationally where they’ve earned coveted supports with indie royalty Dinosaur Jr, The Jesus and Mary Chain, King Gizzard, Boris, Swervedriver, Mudhoney and more.
Tune in all this week to hear tracks from Out of Focus, and PBS Members have the chance to win a copy of the album on vinyl: simply email your name and membership number to before midnight Sunday May 4.
