Los Angeles-based rockers Breaks tout a hooky charisma on “Two Glass Eyes,” which is amongst the many highlights on their recent album Hard Times. Lyrical depictions of infatuation throughout the verses gear into a chorus exuding a sense of obsessive over-protection. “And if you touch my woman, I’ll throw down,” Damien Goyenechea’s gripping vocals ascend amidst a grungy guitar thrashing. “‘Cause she’s a sweet little mama / Drives me around.” Twanging guitar delights enter thereafter in the consuming “she don’t know,” refrain.
Initially Goyenechea’s studio project, Breaks has evolved into a critically acclaimed live band throughout the past couple years. They have a tour planned for 2025; the high-quality of songs on Hard Times pair with their reputation for fervent performances, for what’s poised to be a fantastic tour. In the case of “Two Glass Eyes,” its momentum-filled verses burst into a satiating chorus that oozes vulnerable relatability — capturing the insecurities of someone, who has been waiting ” a long long long time,” for love. “Two Glass Eyes” is an ardent, replay-inducing success.
