Bucks' latest signing Solar Eyes have revealed their new video for 'Acid Test' taken from their debut self-titled album. The band are preparing to head of on a series of UK dates this Autumn.

Solar Eyes is the project of Birmingham duo Glenn Smyth and Sebastian Maynard Francis. Formed in 2021, the band have since drawn crowds at tastemaker events like SXSW and The Great Escape and released a slew of warmly received singles and three EP releases ‘Dreaming Of The Moon’, ‘Alcatraz’ and ‘Naked Monkey On A Spaceship’. Earning praise from the likes of Steve Lamacq (BBC6 Music) and John Kennedy (Radio X) at radio, plus support from The Observer, Q Magazine, God Is In The TV, Louder Than War and more at press, the band have also seen their music featured on renowned TV programmes including Match of the Day and Football Focus.

With its Black Angels-style psych-rock chug and its sneering Kasabian-esque vocals, “Acid Test” sounds every bit as you would hope it would. A trip of wormhole guitar licks, scattergun percussion, and wig-out solos, the track is one of the oldest in the Solar Eyes writing canon. As Glenn explains of its inspirations: “It’s got that Chemical Brothers type vibe with a Brian Jonestown Massacre feel too. Very cool song and the one that got us going.” The new video follows a flurry of activity for the band in recent weeks. Recent single “Acid Test” was picked as Record of the Day, with the site praising the track as being “Primed for a Guy Ritchie-esque film or TV sync”, whilst Louder Than War hailing it as sounding like a “a tripped out Primals jamming with early Tame Impala”.
