Dead Gaze

the album brings together the best tracks from his extensive back catalogue, now mostly out of print, with new unheard material. coming from the hills of north mississippi and the cats purring collective (featuring prolific artists like dent may, bass drum of death and flight), furlow has been releasing material under the guise of dead gaze since 2009, recently morphing into a five piece live band, though the album was mostly written, played, and recorded by furrow. such emotionally honest, hippy-laced lyrics bring to mind 'yoshimi...' era flaming lips, a band that dead gaze have been compared to in the past, but the album covers a vast sonic terrain from the thrashy pop-punk of 'you'll carry on real nice', with its buzzcocks intensity, to the tidal wash of 'future love's and sing abouts', and the psychedelic swirl of 'there's a time to be stupid'. it is furrow's ability to combine the two, often at the same time, which makes 'dead gaze' such a rewarding record, filled with melodic highs and emotional depths.
