Devon three-piece band Pale Blue Eyes are on a roll. Having toured last year, partly as support for Public Service Broadcasting and for The Besnard Lakes, they are out on the road again in 2023 with some sold-out dates already.
Hot on the heels of their stellar debut album Souvenirs comes new single More. It’s a shimmering synthy number, with an airy and upbeat quality. Pale Blue Eyes have proved to be masters at creating absolute earworms and like their previous releases More gets under your skin with its insistent beat and wistful harmonies.
The song is about being around someone who elevates you and supports your mad plans, as the band explain: “This song is about the realisation you don’t really have any control over what life throws at you, but you can control how you respond to it. You can only embrace it and try to keep your shit together. The thing we could focus on was our studio and making music. We were inspired by the setting where we were recording – the birds outside our window, going for a trudge up and down the hilly lanes around the studio to clear our heads. We hoped to build those moments of simple bliss and escape into the music.”
