Human Eye - 4: Into Unknown

Vinyl LP pressing. 2013 release, the fourth album from the mind-melting rockers. Over the course of 4: Into Unknown, the listener rides along rising and falling cascades of fuzz. Mindless twist-and-jive anthems entice, but ultimately abandon false friends in psychedelic realms while remote melodies tickle and torment the cerebellum. In many ways, 4 presents longtime fans with a reverent re-education in Human Eye's style, as it pulls influences from way back when groovin' was the law and the mind a nebulous thing. Full of Sabbath-esque sludge-bass, trash-incinerating guitars and blown-out organs, these songs convince any would-be aficionado that the throbbing heart of Rock 'n' Roll, Detroit City, while currently on life support, can still produce.
