watch Big Eyes’ “Hourglass” video; tour starts this weekend

Brooklyn's Big Eyes have spent years honing their mix of punk energy, classic rock riffs, and big hooks, and they're gearing up to release their new album Streets of the Lost on April 5 via Greenway Records (pre-order) which is shaping up to be yet another fine example of their sound. You already heard the song "Lucky You" and we're now premiering "Hourglass," along with its grainy, psychedelic video. "We wanted to try something new for the 'Hourglass' video, so we went with more of a trippy, psychedelic vibe instead of a specific storyline or more literal interpretation, like most of our other videos," singer/guitarist Kait Eldridge tells us. "Your mind can play tricks on ya! Time is relative! History repeats itself! Thank you to Sztuka Naiwna for doing such a killer job!" The new song is classic Big Eyes, with a flashy twin-lead solo worked in for good measure. Check out the song/video below.

As mentioned, Big Eyes are playing a hometown release show on Saturday (3/30) at Union Pool with Metalleg and Moral Panic (tickets). They'll also be hitting the road after that, and all date are listed on the tour poster below.
