Glacially beautiful folk-rock from the brilliant Leeds singer, with lyrics like daggers – Sunday Times
Shot on the beautiful Dorset coast and directed by James Alexandrou, Eaves reveals the video to his forthcoming single, Pylons.
Pylons will be released on Heavenly Recordings on Monday April 27th 2015. Produced by Cam Blackwood, it is the opening track on What Green Feels Like, his debut album which is released on the same day.
A breathtaking four-minute arrangement, literally from a whisper to a scream, Pylons commands the listeners attention leaving you in no doubt that this kid is special.
Joe Lyons aka Eaves explains the video filming process: “It was a cold couple of days but beautiful. Me and Susanne had come up with a loose idea pertaining to the soundscapes and pace of the song rather than following any direct sentiment. It was my first time working with film photography and was an experiment to see in what ways we could add something visual to the sound. I feel we've delivered something we're really happy with”.
Having previously toured alongside Nick Mulvey, Boy & Bear, Slow Club, Philip Selway and most recently Rhodes, Eaves has announced details of his own headline tour, featuring the full-band line-up, in May.

Still in his early 20s and based in Leeds, having grown up on the other side of the Pennines, Eaves possesses a rare talent that belies his age. What Green Feels Like, his bold, ambitious, Buckley-channeling debut album, eloquently explores themes of place and time.
“I think a lot of it comes from my background. I grew up in Bolton in a family of seven. No family is perfect but it wasn’t the most comfortable environment. A lot of my imagery comes from that working class upbringing and things that were happening as I was growing up. Alcoholism, stuff like that. I’m distanced from it now, but now and again I will come back to it”
