Suburban Eyes release early 90s radio-rock inspired jangle on latest single "4 AM" from debut LP

Spartan Records and Suburban Eyes are excited to present “4AM,” the latest single to be lifted from the Friday, August 30 release of the indie trio’s self-titled debut album featuring members of Christie Front Drive and Mineral. “I had a cassette copy of Toad the Wet Sprocket's ‘Fear’ in high school and the song “Is It For Me” really resonated with me for some reason,” Eric Richter of Suburban Eyes recalls. “I had a very vivid picture of how the lyrics looked like played out in my mind. '4AM' is in that spirit.”

Richter continues, “I named it '4AM' after reading the announcement of Wayne Shorter’s death that read, ‘Today at 4 a.m., Wayne Shorter peacefully continued on his immense journey into the unknown.’ I thought that was pretty so I used the time of his death as a tribute of sorts and because it fit the subject matter of the song. After the song was mixed and finished, I revisited the Toad The Wet Sprocket song and, coincidentally, the meeting time of the characters in the story is 4 a.m. There are some paths you cannot avoid." Stream “4AM” below for a taste of their nostalgic jangly 90s sounding emo/alt-rock.
