This Week's In-Studio: Warehouse Eyes
Minneapolis's newest dream pop band, Warehouse Eyes, take their name from a lyric in a Bob Dylan Song ("Sad Eyed Lady of the Lands"). They stopped by Studio K to play some songs from their excellent debut EP, Carvings. Jenny, a classically trained vocalist, sings hauntingly over a bed of dreamy synths and gritty guitar riffs, managing to balance polished and raw to great effect.
You can catch them at the Kitty Cat Club July 12th with Astronomique and Queen of France.

This Week's In-Studio: Mr. Hide
Mr. Hide has been an underrated fixture of the Twin Cities' music scene for several years. Their unique brand of psych/garage rock continues to evolve in the best of ways, ranging from 60's garage pop to a more expansive psych-influenced sound in recent years.
Their latest album Hide and Seek is slated for release later this year on Pinata Records.
