EYE ABOVE ALBUM REVIEW

From the very moment the first track “Wavy” drops its opening note, Eye Above, takes you by the shoulder and says something like, “Hey there, you, come with us on a fuckin’ journey.” Mixing old-school styled rap-rock with a jazz and funk fusion, the entire album is a crazy whirlwind of genre mashing. *wipes brow* You don’t get music like this anywhere else, could Fort Collins be where a new genre begins?
