Overview

  • “Eyes” is available to stream now, with a full release set for September 12 as part of Everything Is Now – Vol 1: 1978–1982.
  • The box set compiles Journeys to Glory and Diamond with rare demos and unreleased material, plus a 44-page book featuring Graham Smith’s photos and new band commentary.
  • New Dolby Atmos remixes by Steven Wilson are included alongside archival recordings to reframe the band’s early sound.
  • The track was written and demoed at Halligan’s in the late 1970s when the band performed as Gentry, and it featured in their Blitz Club sets.
  • Gary Kemp describes the song as gothic post-punk, and the release coincides with the Design Museum’s Blitz exhibition opening in London on September 20, which the band will soundtrack.
