The Heard Eye is a hard band to pin down, in terms of sound and style, but then, shouldn’t all bands take such an approach? After all, why would you want to be known as the epitome of one narrow genre when you can stride colossus-like across the musical map, picking and choosing, mixing and matching, sounds and styles as you go? And don’t for one moment think that implies that they are jack-of-all-trades, they are without doubt masters of all and every musical style they turn their hands to.
“Plenty Love” sees them in groovy, ’70s-infused rock and roll mode, one forged of chugging guitars and soulful vibes, singalong vocals, boogie-some rhythms, and blistering guitar breaks.
But, it is not so much the sound but a certain sentiment that is the through-line and thread that runs through their music and connects their songs. As they adventurously explore all manner of cool musical styles, blending the fresh and the familiar as they go, their messages are always optimistic, advocating a more loving, understanding, connected, and united world. And I imagine you would be hard-pressed to find many people who don’t think we could do with more of that in the world right now.
