Iris

Following their 2021 debut album, ‘Brama’, One Million
Eyes return with their highly anticipated second album,
‘Iris’, set to captivate us once more through a
kaleidoscope of rich analog and instrumental
fragments.

The inspiration behind the album was born from a
powerful symbol—the iris of the eye. Controlling the
inflow of light, the iris mirrors the duo's mission for the
album, “letting light in, even in the darkest of times”.
Representing an attempt to shed new insight on their
sometimes indescribable approach, Paolo and Luciano
compare the ambition (and consequent imperfections)
throughout their music to that of the imperfect, yet
unique array of color found within an iris, in the hope it
can completely entrance and mesmerize.
With much of the album recorded live, ‘Iris’ marks a
refined evolution in the One Million Eyes sound born
under their Tempelhof guise many years ago. Infusing
organic sound elements such as voice fragments,
acoustic guitar lines, and drum beats at the forefront of
their compositions, their vast array of analog
synthesizers once again provide added depth and
warmth, resulting in majestic, hypnotic circular motifs
that Paolo and Luciano describe as "Mantras, rising and
falling in volume and intensity."
Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri, and featuring artwork
by Ventral Is Golden, ‘Iris’ will be available on
November 10th, on turquoise vinyl, digital, and streaming.
There will also be a limited run of multi-colored ‘Iris’ 12”
available directly on the label’s Bandcamp.
