THE BLACK CAT'S EYE








ABOUT

THE BLACK CAT'S EYE

...from THE BLACK CAT'S EYE Bandcamp site



THE BLACK CAT'S EYE – these are glaring fuzz, bass and drum riffs, interwoven chord pickings and lead guitars rooted in the blues – sometimes screaming, singing or rough. And above everything, the melody hovers almost like a hymn. With their musical style, the band, founded in Frankfurt am Main in 2018, is directly linked to the '60s and '70s – the great era of psychedelic rock.



WEIRDO SHRINE blog, 15 February 2023:

„When you start out your debut album with a twenty minute instrumental song I think it is safe to say you have some Godzilla size balls. Germany’s The Black Cat’s Eye make it clear from the start that they do not give a damn about their reputation, or about conventions. They do exactly what they feel like doing, just like the cats that lend their eyes for the band’s moniker.
Whether it is the weird sentence of the title, the unpredictability of the songs, or the strange artwork, even before you’ve heard a note of music it is clear that there is something special going on here. Most importantly though; there is some very good music on here too. Opener Kill The Sun And The Moon And The Stars is a Pandora’s box of beautiful secrets for latter day Pink Floyd fans, with an instrumental palette that unfolds itself majestically for twenty plus minutes without boring the listener for a second.
But there is more. On the other half of this shiny blue vinyl platter The Black Cat’s Eye proves they have more sides to them. There is Porcupine Tree echoing songwriting, soothing vocal harmonies, and expert musicianship. It is striking to note that whether the band decides to use vocals hardly seems to matter when it comes to the entertainment value.
The Empty Space Between A Seamount And Shock-Headed Julia is a quirky and impressive debut album that defies all logic and comes out on top winning. Adventurous prog and psych heads better watch out!“



ECLIPSED ROCK MAGAZIN, März 2023

Calling

The Black Cat's Eye have it all with expansive titles. And with expansive sounds. Everything is understandable with their brilliant debut album and its storyline-compatible name. And as if that weren't enough, the Frankfurt-Mainhattan five-piece presents a twenty-minute instrumental chunk in the wake of Pink Floyd in their "meddle" phase with the opener "Kill The Sun And The Moon And The Stars". With three guitars you send signals into infinity, although here and there you could really assume that David Gilmour himself smuggled himself into the recordings. Anyone who swam too far here will be slammed back down to earth with the rumbling math rock punk stomper "Katla". "Winter Song", on the other hand, brings a first-class folk-prog ballad somewhere between Yes and motorpsycho ( and that with singing!) to be heard. "In My Dreams The Wind Chases Away The Clouds" evolves into shimmering space rocker, and the epilogue, beautifully titled "Lostlostlostlost-lostlostlostlost" indulges in driving Stooges punk. All things are possible... (CA)
