Eyes of Caelum have released their debut 6 track EP, ‘Laced in Gold’. Eyes of Caelum are a five-piece Indie Rock band from the UK, and winners of ‘Upload of the Week’ for BBC Introducing South West with their single release, ‘Human Touch’, also available on their new EP. Hailing from the South West, the band started writing during the long UK lockdown, and have since recorded with some of the best producers in the UK, to establish their sound.

‘Laced in Gold’ is an impressive indie-rock EP that showcases the catchy, passionate tunes of Eyes of Caelum. The band blend heartfelt melodies with shredding guitar riffs, soaring melodies and pummeling rhythms to create a stadium-ready wall of sound that is a joy to listen to. ‘Human Touch’, ‘Winter Sun’ and the swaggered blues dipped ‘Red Band Cigarettes’ all pound through the ears at a relentless pace evoking images of crowds at gigs bellowing back the lyrics. The band capture a sense of freedom and adrenaline within these tracks through ethereal guitar pines and well-placed bass grooves that are a goosebump-inducing delight.

The brisk pace of the EP makes for an invigorating listening experience and there are many memorable moments throughout. A fine example of such memorable moments is the beautifully expressive bittersweet guitar melodies. Whether it’s a majestic, desert- esque guitar display in ‘Laced In Gold’ or a cinematic embellishment in the brooding ‘This Town’, the guitar gives a euphoric irresistible quality to the songs.

‘Laced in Gold’ is a satisfying and cohesive body of work from Eyes of Caelum. The energy, passion and vigour bursting from this EP is admirable. Each track is ecstasy to the ears and equally spectacular with each subsequent listen.
