Alec K. Redfearn and the Eyesores performance
Thursday August 30, 2007 at 7:00pm
Rochambeau Branch Library
708 Hope Street
Providence, Rhode Island 02906 Get Directions
This large ensemble from Providence, Rhode Island, has been in existence for a decade now, bringing their very original music to audiences in the United States and Europe. The Blind Spot is their 6th release and their second for Cuneiform and its also surprisingly different from The Quiet Room.

...constructed from a diverse and unfashionable set of instruments, Alec K. Redfearn and the Eyesores are as bizarre as they appealing. This is wonderful stuff -- brave and experimental, yet warmly human. Make room on your folk revival shelf for something that may be influenced by folk, but is in no way a revival. - Splended

No one else sounds like The Eyesores and with this album, no one combines such purity of vocal and instrumental work with such a sense of impending uneasiness (and I mean this as the highest compliment!). They offer experimental future folk with elements of real dirt and sweat -- and a touch of mania. Highly recommended" - All Music Guide

...a complex mix of psychedelic folk, progrock, old-time country, acidic cabaret, dark circus music, and sinister dream fragments that haunt in recurring motifs; all built around the musical visions of one Alec K. Redfearn. - George Parsons - Dream Magazine #5

The Eyesores jump around several subgenres of rock and folk music without breaking a sweat or turning an ankle. They use discord along side of melodic confection. They are gentle and harsh simultaneously. They rock without really rocking. They stagger and swear like a drunken sailor, but are still able to be sweet and charming. I like it. - Edward McElvain - The Independent Mind
