WATCH/LISTEN & SHARE: Frog Eyes - "E-E-Y-O-R-E (That's Me!)" Stream | Watch LISTEN & SHARE: Frog Eyes - The Bees Stream / Bandcamp PRAISE FOR FROG EYES "'The Bees' is a true highlight from the record, characterized by Mercer’s distinctive vocal performance, rippling indie rock soundscapes, cryptic poeticism, and sprawling songwriting." - Under the Radar "Mercer’s singular voice, nightmare-bent and horror-pained, has put him in league with such eccentric vocalists as Tom Waits and Frank Black, and he shares with them the status of the truly inimitable." - Pitchfork "[He’s A] Lonely Song in particular is one of Frog Eyes’ best no-frills rock tracks in almost a decade." - FLOOD "Beautiful, noisy and singularly Frog Eyes" - Brooklyn Vegan "Mercer’s singular voice, nightmare-bent and horror-pained, has put him in league with such eccentric vocalists as Tom Waits and Frank Black, and he shares with them the status of the truly inimitable. That his voice survived throat cancer undiminished is all the more extraordinary. It’s what gives Violet Psalms its otherworldly power—especially on its two final songs, 'Unconscious Missive' and 'Pay for Fire,' heartening demonstrations of Mercer’s expressiveness and range." - Pitchfork "Violet Psalms finds Frog Eyes going out in a burst of vitality. It's a mesmerizing album, full of world-weary terror and transcendent grace." - Exclaim! Today, Vancouver indie-rock greats Frog Eyes share "E-E-Y-O-R-E (That's Me!)", their latest single. Frog Eyes on the track, ""E-E-Y-O-R-E" has that riff that happens in the middle and end of the song, and it’s rare, and I like it. When we play it live, our keyboard player Shyla will often look at my guitar with enthusiasm and encouragement. The song itself is a bit about loneliness, fear, isolation, the irony that we all are simultaneously bombarded with these isolating emotions, but unable to bust out of these individual spheres.  Eeyore: our collective familiar, our beloved daemon. When Derek laid out the concept of the video, I thought of my favourite music video ever, "Sabrina" by Einstürzende Neubauten.  In the end, in the execution, very different, but conceptually not that far off.  It's economical in form, distinctive and effective, all describers that we strive for." Frog Eyes - "E-E-Y-O-R-E (That's Me!)" [OFFICIAL VIDEO] This video was directed by Derek Janzen. Derek on the video, "When Carey sent E-E-Y-O-R-E over to see if I had any video ideas, the song title alone got my mind moving. And after listening through a few times, and thinking about the lore of Eeyore, this archetype of sadness that he encapsulates, it made me wonder what other characters put out a similar image of loneliness.  For whatever reason, black metal guys seemed to make sense to me as a visual representation of those emotions. And even though this look behind the curtain of a quite extreme form of artistic expression is portrayed rather humorously, my feeling is that all types of art-making tend to be pretty vulnerable to pursue in their own ways. This look behind the curtain of a quite extreme form of artistic expression is portrayed with sentimentality, softness and caring, as it is my feeling that all types of art-making tend to be pretty vulnerable to pursue in their own ways."
