Bleary Eyed – “Upset”

A few months ago, the Philadelphia shoegaze experimenters Bleary Eyed released an impressive self-titled EP. If you liked that one, you won’t have to wait long to hear more. In a couple of weeks, Bleary Eyed will drop three songs on Free Treeway, a three-way split EP with their Julia’s War labelmates Sun Organ and Euphoria Again.

One of the Bleary Eyed songs on the split is “Upset,” a kind of fractured dream-pop jam that refracts singer Margot Whipps’ voice through filters of murky guitar fuzz and crystalline synth. Whipps’ bandmate Nathaniel Salfi says, “We wanted to write a faster yet sweet pop song with Margot’s vocals front and center but still incorporate some glitchy, sample-heavy production.” Below, listen to “Upset” (and a slowed-down version of “Upset”) and check out the tracklist for the new split.
