A hooky fusing of melodic guitars and synth-laden danceability stirs across “Gold Eyes,” a newly released single from Juno Empire. The project represents the work of Emmy Award-winning composer Alexander Thomas, who wrote, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered the track.
Described as a “day dream about someone you can’t forget,” “Gold Eyes” induces ample replays with its enamoring central hook — invoking shades of The Stokes and ’00 indie rock in its tonal disposition — and doses of synths, excelling especially in approaching the two-minute turn with buzzing bounces. Twinkling keys drive into the title-touting chorus, enveloping in its twangy guitars, playful synths, and consistently soaring vocals. “Gold Eyes” is a fantastic showcase in songwriting and production from Juno Empire.
