Includes digital download. A Colossal Waste of Light does an excellent job of framing the quintet as one of today's most compelling purveyors of lopsided guitar pop workouts and earworm-laden vocal melodies. It also proves that great guitar pop can still evoke favorites from a glorious past - the penetrating moodiness of XTC's Black Sea, or R.E.M.'s Fables of the Reconstruction, comes to mind - while refusing to waste time on idle nostalgia. On their 4th full-length album (but 17th vinyl offering if you include previous 7\"s and EPs) the Portland, OR band also rediscover the beauty of firsts. A Colossal Waste of Light marks the first time the band wrote songs remotely (\"it ended up being fun \u0026amp; weird to send out a very simple version of a song and see who came back first with another part for it\", John Moen looks back), their first reunion at the Destination: Universe studio post-isolation, and their first batch of melodious new tunes since The Accidental Falls, the band's 2020 project with poet, lyricist and Tim Buckley collaborator Larry Beckett (an extra-ordinary pairing that allowed Eyelids' two frontmen\/tunesmiths, Chris Slusarenko and John Moen, to find a new, multilayered appreciation for the art of songcraft).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45006795997405,"sku":"843563141373","price":179.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4172942-2943281.jpg?v=1713483601","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/the-eyelids-a-colossal-waste-of-light","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
