Pablo's Eye

Enigmatic Brussels collective Pablo’s Eye reappear with a poetic transition between desert blues, ambient vignettes, adult contemporary, and machine driven hustle.

Elusive as a dream, the 4th Pablo’s Eye release on Stroom also appears to be their first original suite for the label after a series of retrospective compilations. ‘The light was sharp, our eyes were open’ was composed, recorded and produced in the group’s native Brussels in 2023, and revolves a line-up familiar to their early Stroom sides that spanned some 30 years of work between a 1989 debut and their 2018-2019 release, here wrapping etheric textures and midnight whimsy around shimmering chorus-pedal slide guitar set to Richard Skinner’s texts, with the addition of Noor-e-Sahar Ali and Ludwig Lepauw lending fresh spice to their current formulation.
