Basement Revolver - "Heavy Eyes" (Sonic Unyon): This is the title track from the imminent debut album from share the title track from the hotly-tipped Hamilton indie rock trio, coming via hometown label Sonic Unyon on Aug. 24.


Driven by pounding percussion and guitars, it focuses on the heavier side of the group's shoegaze/dreampop style. In a label press release, songwriter and singer Chrisy Hurn explains that “‘Heavy Eyes’ is about feeling really tired. And life is hard when you are really tired.”

Her vocals suggest Alvvays' Molly Rankin as a reference point, and there's a strong melodic core to the cut.
