With their debut EP ‘Microcosmic Things’ gathering attention from the likes of NME, Dork and Steve Lamacq, Eades have been making waves across the UK. The five-piece cut their teeth in the blossoming Leeds scene alongside acts such as Honey Guide and Yard Act. Their basement studio and record label ‘Bam Bam Records’ (run by lead singer Harry Jordan) have become central to the indie scene, allowing likeminded artists to stay creative during the rollercoaster year that 2020 has been.
The band’s latest track ‘Forgive My Mind’ moves away from the sound of their debut EP. Wonky and laid-back, ‘Forgive My Mind’ is about late-night introspection. Singer Harry Jordan says “I was reflecting on a time of my life where I was a bit all over the place.” It’s a theme which runs through the instrumental as well as the lyrics, and Eades’ DIY production only adds to that feeling. Guitar and synth lines add space to the track with Jordan’s understated vocal sitting pleasantly in the mix. Eades are making all the right moves and going places because of it. Keep them on your radar.
