This Year Approximately / Until the Morning Comes Around

At the very end of 2019, Sissy Space Echo and The Invisible Collaborators and The Edible Eyes released their debut split 7" on Next Phase : Normal Records. Now, they've decided to team up, once again, and release another split single....also on Next Phase : Normal Records.

Sissy Space Echo and The Invisible Collaborators formed out of the ashes of Girl One And The Grease Guns. So did The Edible Eyes. You can include The Blanche Hudson Weekend in there, too - but we don't need to go into details. From that aforementioned debut split 7", Sissy Space Echo and The Invisible Collaborators contributed The Butterfly (Fill The Frame), and it received several good notices...Louder Than War magazine describing it as “a languid, woozy ‘60s drone-rock voyage channelling a Nico-era Velvet Underground spirit”. The Edible Eyes' side was entitled You're Void, and was raved about in the same Louder Than War review as featuring "trippy, vibrato-laden synth", also adding that, "the underlying rhythm pulses through you, overlaid with a dreamy trance-like melody and a deliciously wistful vocal".

Sissy Space Echo and The Invisible Collaborators then went on to release a 7" on Old Bad Habits Label (based in Greece) This was a pure synthpop inspired stomper of a single, titled The Day The Earth Caught Fire b/w They’ll Fix You (They Fix Everything), and it helped to solidify Sissy Space Echo and The Invisible Collaborators’ growing reputation as not being a band who you can sonically pin down very easily.

Which now brings us to this, the latest 7” single by both groups. Until The Morning Comes Around by The Edible Eyes is another synth-pop sensation, lyrically dark and sonically eerie, in places. The sweet vocal melody is married to a moody beast of an instrumental track, complete with anguished cries emerging through the beats and the bleeps. The Sissy Space Echo and The Invisible Collaborators side is entitled This Year Approximately, and is a very 1960s inspired, guitar / Hammond organ composition, complete with topical lyrics and catchy vocals filtered through the harder edges of the 1980s indie-pop scene sound.

Both tracks by both bands come together to create another fantastic single release. All served up on heavyweight 7" vinyl with fold-over silk-screen printed outer sleeve and A5 silk-screen printed inner sheet. Turn it up loud !
