Eye & The Arrow Explore Psychedelic ‘Ghost’ Sounds On Latest EP
Eye & The Arrow brings a different musical direction with each visit to OpenAir’s studio. The Denver trio, which features two members of folk-rock band Paper Bird, visited in 2012 and 2013, but neither performance was quite like the one they gave us earlier this month. They performed three songs from the forthcoming EP and spoke with Alisha Sweeney about the real-life “ghost” tapes that inspired the record and working with John Oates of Hall & Oates in Nashville. The band is set to release the new cassette EP “Ghost Tapes,” with a performance on May 27 at Globe Hall.
