Egyptrixx’ debut album Bible Eyes is set for an early March release on cult London label Night Slugs. Recorded over three months during the summer of 2010, Bible Eyes is a complete work that brings together elements of techno, house, hip hop and pop, while possessing a unique continuity – almost a story arch – of its own.
The work of classically trained pianist and Toronto native, David Psutka, Bible Eyes is celestial club music; jeep music for a Saturn desert. There is an exhilarating right-but-wrong tension that all of Egyptrixx’s tracks share – a shifting balance between melodic and dissonant, rapturous and antisocial. A crystalline vastness and glassy texture holds the record together.
Opening track “Start From The Beginning” drones in waves over white washed atmospheres and gentle piano stabs; a perfect lead into the house cycles of the title track. Lead single “Chrysalis Records” bleeds into experimental pop and is matched perfectly with the vocals of Maya from Canadian band Trust. The journey shifts into the minimal techno realm on “Liberation Front” followed by psychedelic (and gorgeous) down tempo broken beat on the irresistible “Naples” and the trippy “Rooks Theme”. Melodic techno is back in the picture on “Recital (A Version)” before Trust’s other singer (Rob) lends his vocals to the spacey gothic pop of “Fuji Club”. The bass breaks of “Barely” and the jagged and pulsating “Recital (B version)” provide the final chapters in Egyptrixx’ Bible Eyes.
