Eye of Newt

Calgary, AB

This is overthought music about overthinking. Eye of Newt — the arty pop project of Calgary-based multi-instrumentalist Nate Waters — relies on shameless songcraft butting up against insistently obtuse compositional quirks. The songs swing wildly from tightly wound art rock to quasi-improvised harsh noise to meticulous pop with starkly humorous lyrics.
