Pete International Airport, the project of Peter G. Holmström of The Dandy Warhols and Sun Atoms , knocks our door with a new offering, the single “Sea of Eyes”, taken from the latest EP of the same name. This song features Alexander Hackett of Montreal dream-gaze outfit Pang Attack and is a sonic journey worth experiencing. The track opens with a gentle, pulsating rhythm, immediately drawing listeners into a hypnotic atmosphere. Layers of lush synthesizers, shimmering guitars and a fragile rhythm section create a dreamlike aura, evoking both melancholy and transcendence. Hackett’s vocals glide effortlessly over the instrumental arrangement and complement the tracks introspective mood. The fusion of Hackett’s dream-gaze sensibilities with Pete International Airport’s psychedelic pop/rock foundation results in a track that feels so familiar and personal. “Sea of Eyes” envelops the listener in its narcotic world, where the shadows and the fog prevail. Get ready for a captivating single, especially you, the fans of dream-gaze, psychedelia and emotionally charged music. Pete International Airport is breathing heavily, but their heart is beating like a drum. It’s wonderful that such songs come to our lives. So sensitive, soulful and some seconds away, before they break into tiny pieces. This immersive experience gets more vivid and pronounced by the accompanying, directed by Italian filmmaker Francesca Bonci, music video, which adds a whole new layer. Are you interested in getting inside this labyrinth? You may not find the way out, but it will feel so good.
