Austin-based project proun impress with a nocturnal rock sound on “I’m Your Eyes,” described as “a reflection on gender and identity, a stream of consciousness both musically and lyrically.”
A moody guitar crawl is punctuated with sporadic, twangy pulses — crafting a palpable sense of momentum. The vocals exude a weary, contemplative tone, remarking “my mind is upside down.” An impassioned vocal rise coincides with thumping percussion and rousing guitars as the second minute approaches; this moment is a wholly satiating payoff, culminating from the compelling, atmospheric first half. “I’m Your Eyes” is a stirring rock success from proun, led by Jamie Weed.
