Bleary Eyed – “Wander”
Do people ever confuse the young Philadelphia shoegaze crew Bleary Eyed for the post-Oasis Liam Gallagher band Beady Eye, or is that just me? For their entire existence, I kept thinking of Beady Eye as "Bleary Eye," and now there's a Bleary Eyed . This might be what finally pushes me into the "OK grandpa, let's get you to bed" phase of my life. The two bands don't even look or sound anything like…
Bleary Eyed, a Philadelphia shoegaze band, has been mistakenly identified as the post-Oasis band Beady Eye, despite having no similarities in appearance or sound. The Philadelphia shoegaze crew recently shared a mechanized lo-fi single called "Wander." The band does not classify this song as shoegaze; it's a fusion of chillwave and post-hardcore with an eerie atmosphere.
The song's lyrics depict a lengthy drive from New York to Atlanta for SXSW, where the lead singer almost fell asleep at the wheel. The second half of the song explores the general sense of fatigue and disconnection experienced during long trips, tours, or even in bars.
