The Rising are back with a second album and they are
releasing ‘Kaleidoscope Eyes’ as a psychedelic teaser for the tension builder
of the release. If you aren’t already aware, The Rising are an alternative rock
band from Southampton and due to their eclectic range and bewildering talents
they’re a band which are rather difficult to dislike. Liam Gallagher, all
things Britpop, and 60’s psychedelia are what this 7-piece are about.
Kaleidoscope Eyes is a catchy, five minutes and nineteen
seconds of pure psychedelia bliss; a simple yet effective track which creates
imagery of riding down the highway at dawn in your Cadillac, getting lost in
the beautiful eyes of the one you love.
The opening line flows very smoothly as lead vocalist Tommy
Overington sings…
“Your love is like a drug, don’t wanna come down and I cant
get around. I trip out on your smile, I need to rest my head for a while.”
Then when the chorus comes in, almost immediately you can get
the rhythm of both the lyrics and the track itself, the best part of the track
is when the synth really takes lead of the instrumental and the track endures
into a psychedelic acid house takeover.
“Euphoric waves that fall like rain, start a psychedelic hurricane
in my brain. One look at you and I’m hypnotised. I’m in love with you and your kaleidoscope
eyes.”
Although, lyrically the chorus is repetitive throughout the
track, it works because the instrumental has a gradual crescendo along with an
increase in tempo on the synth which alternates the track to make it still remain
interesting and appealing to listen to. On the other hand, lyrically this track
is outstanding and it almost takes you into a psychedelic wonderland, then when
the tempo and tension increases and the track divulges into a bit of acid house you’re
just like YESSS!
The Rising are
releasing this track on Friday the 7th of July, but is ready to
pre-order on iTunes now. No doubt the gig will be a sell-out success, if you’re
out and about in Southampton on the 15th of September don’t hesitate
to drop in at their gig at the new music venue – The Loft – it will be ace. Or
if you’re going Bestival they are also performing there.
Keep your eyes peeled for the release of their new album.
