Crayola Eyes

Behind the reverb-drenched pop/psychedelia, Crayola Eyes are a Jakarta-based six-piece band consisting of vocalist and tambourine-shaker Reno Nismara, guitarists Kendra Ahimsa and Bayu Andrianto, bassist Aditya Hadisusanto, keyboardist Anindya Anugrah, and drummer Ferry Prakarsa.

The band&#39;s full-length debut album titled &#39;<a href="spotify:album:2iua24GBL1I9gMjjr41lMU" data-name="Gushing">Gushing</a>&#39; — co-produced with <a href="spotify:artist:6deukQxOZId9CTKlSAUTfO" data-name="Bernardus Fritz">Bernardus Fritz</a> — was digitally released on February 23, 2023 through Jakarta&#39;s La Munai Records and then was issued on vinyl by their new label home, London&#39;s Fuzz Club Records.

As the title suggests, the album is intended to capture the band&#39;s nature in creating and delivering songs without compromise and restraint. It can also be seen as a manifestation of their stance to be in control of their own music, to create what they want to create.

Praises on &#39;Gushing&#39;:

&#34;Insistent, widescreen dream-rock carving a straight highway through your third eye, passing The Horrors in the fast lane and meeting Moon Duo at the bypass.&#34;
—Shindig!

&#34;An evocative album that asks listeners to relish every second of its lingering, engrossing psychedelia.&#34;
—The Jakarta Post

&#34;Crayola Eyes manage to meld and steer their influences into an inebriated, mirage-like melange, creating a work that&#39;s part homage, part their own.&#34;
—Norman Records&#39; Album of the Week

&#34;Crayola Eyes are hitting that psychedelic sweet spot that&#39;s reserved for Spacemen 3, Loop, and early Black Angels.&#34;
