Skooshny – Even My Eyes (Minus Zero)
Co-produced by Beach Boys back room man Jeff Peters, Skooshny’s “Even My Eyes” is an example of alternative American guitar music at its finest.
Based in Santa Monica, California, this trio of thirty-somethings have drawn on influences as diverse as early REM to Polydor era Link Wray to produce an album of real quality. Standout songs include the title track, which features a wicked guitar riff, the sublime “Holy Land” and the bittersweet “I Never Change My Mind”. In fact, they’re the first three tracks and I could easily carry on to the end.
This release also includes the complete “Holy Land” EP, and there’s also an earlier album available which should be well worth investigating - though “Even My Eyes” is the perfect introduction to the band.
