“A stirring new one from Eagle Eye Jones. They’ve stretched out and gone for an epic feel on this one – they didn’t miss either.” – Dave Ruby Howe, triple j Unearthed
“Eagle eye jones have made every second of this 5-minute sprawler worth it with the slow building emotion and grandiose vision that’s well and truly come to life.” – Declan Byrne, triple j
“Eagle Eye Jones know their way through a jam and I’m a sucker for it. It’s a wonderland dreamscape and I don’t want to drift away from this ever”– Claire Mooney, triple j
“It’s hard to pinpoint exactly who the five-piece sound like, which in my eyes, is what you’re looking for in new bands” – Pedestrian TV
Sydney indie outfit Eagle Eye Jones have today released their much-anticipated debut album New Growth out via [PIAS] Australia; recorded and produced at Studios 301 by Jack Garzonio, who worked with the band relentlessly throughout 2020 in order to perfect the songs.

Each sound is considered and thoughtful, while style and genre vary across the record, each song speaks harmoniously to the message of the project. That we should leave the world a better place than when we found it.The band have offered up their latest single ‘3021’, a love letter to humanity and an ode to David Bowie. The track looks into the next millennia and prays that humanity can sort out its grievances by then.
Written in response to the Christchurch Mosque mass shootings in 2019, this song is almost a prayer of hope. It came forth fully developed in an hour or two and marked a distinct shift in the song writing of Eagle Eye Jones towards a more pensive, introspective relationship towards the world.After lead singer Luke Saunders shyly escaped an avalanche burial in the Himalayas, he penned the lyrics to ‘Alpine Meadows’, and their debut album was born. Seven people lost their lives at that very location some days before and Saunders was rattled to the core. From this prophetic pilgrimage, this flirting with the fragility of life, Eagle Eye Jones conceived their first full body of work.
.
A week after his return, Australia was flung into pandemic. Songs of isolation and alienation, but also of hope, rang true. Decades of friendship and musicianship strained under battles with addiction and mental health. Despite the turmoil, Eagle Eye Jones banded together, glued by the vision of their sound, and recorded their debut album.
The trilogy of early singles, ‘Alpine Meadows’, ‘Paperskin’ and ‘Wardrobe of Masks’, tell the chronological story of this descent into isolation and the songwriters’ increasingly dislocated, yet pleadingly hopeful, relationship to a rapidly evolving world.
.
From the vast orchestral landscape of ‘Alpine Meadows’, to the cascading, detuned synths of ‘Paperskin’ this album is a world unto itself. The lyrics are defiant and optimistic
.
.
These ten songs are the intimate, interwoven stories of five friends. Stories of love and dislocation, triumph and desperation, life and death. Eagle Eye Jones’ debut album invites you into a lush, textural world of poetry, philosophy, song-craft, and beauty.
.
The band will be heading out on an east coast tour in support of their debut album across June & July, hitting the Central Coast, Wollongong, Canberra, Melbourne, Byron Bay & Sydney. Fans will be taken on an aural journey as they witness the album live for the very first time.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
