The Eyes - Harder (Official Video)


 

Two good friends of Swing Ting; Chimpo and Fox aka 'The Eyes' drop the first taste of their much anticipated album due for release later this year on Manchester's Estate Recordings.

A stripped production featuring an acoustic guitar and whistling could have been a risky venture, but on 'Harder' Fox's moving lament and Chimpo's restraint combine to form something undeniably soulful, poignant and powerful.  We've loved this one since it first surfaced and it's evident to see why Dub Phizix and Loefah have been spinning it in their sets all year.  But don't just take our word for it, give it a listen for yourself...


Harder / Come Again featuring Strategy is available digitally on 20th August 2012
