Eyemèr

Eyemèr is an indie singer-songwriter whose work is influenced by artists such as Daughter, Bon Iver and Julien Baker. Arlo Devreese’s fragile, raw voice and dark lo-fi sound have become their trademark.

In 2014 Eyemèr reached the finals of Humo’s Rock Rally and in March 2016 their debut album ‘Temporarily Colourblind’ came out. ‘Losing Faith’ got airplay on Radio 1 for a little while and ‘Promise’ was shown on the Television Program ‘Fans Of Flanders’. In 2016 and 2017 Eyemèr was the support act of well-known Belgian bands such as Marble Sounds and Isbells.

The second Eyemèr EP, called ‘Good Mourning To You’, was released in 2019. On this record, Arlo dared to be open about their non-binary gender identity and queer sexuality for the first time. 'Bird, You Can Fly' was played by Ayco Duyster on Radio 1 and the single 'On My Own' got airplay on Radio 1 as well.

11.02.2022 Eyemèr returned with a 3rd EP called 'Transition Town', which talks about their physical and mental transition as a non-binary person. The album got coverage in Het Nieuwsblad and Flair and ‘Reborn’ was played on Radio 1. This track features American musician and trans activist Ryan Cassata .

3 years after the release of their EP ‘Transition Town’, Eyemèr is back with an EP titled ‘Ruminatrain’. The record focuses on LGBT+ themes and their struggles with an anxiety disorder.
Musically, Eyemèr partly goes back to their roots with this EP, with a preference for the ‘less is more’ mentality.
