Sunglaciers, your favourite velocitized Albertan speedfreak alchemists are back with a hot new single and trippy video called “Eye to Eye,” the first from their upcoming fourth album, Spiritual Content (out March 27 via Mothland). “Eye to Eye” is classic Sunglaciers—buzzing vocals cutting through the static, motorik procession drums, an angular lead guitar that is as evil as it is dancy, and a message to all stay together—even though we’re all surrounded by constant chaos. There is also a strange synth breakdown that feels like an orchestra slowly melting and conceding to that same static. Sunglaciers’ songs are always a vibe, like watching a Ron Howard film in an altered state.
“Eye to Eye” comes with a sporadic black-and-white music video, directed by Sunglaciers’ vocal stooge Evan Resnik, featuring old propaganda imagery and movies from the ’40s. It feels like a bad flashback to an unruly acid trip, the ones that make you feel happy and sad to be alive.
Sunglaciers will be rolling through Montreal during Mothland’s Taverne Tour on February 13. I’ve personally had the privilege to listen to Spiritual Content multiple times, and it is easily Sunglaciers’ best work since their 2022 album, Subterranea. Kids, you are not prepared.
