October and the Eyes – All My Love : Listen

New Zealand-born, London-based singer, songwriter and producer October and the Eyes announces her debut EP, Dogs and Gods, out November 20th on KRO Records.

Today, she shares the lead single and video “All My Love,” a track that “lures you into a warm embrace of October’s coy and breathy sweet-nothings.”

All My Love’ is unfortunately a love song – something I told myself I would never write, yet here I am,” says October. “But it’s not all sweet. In fact, I would call it more of a lust song. It’s about being in love but lusting for something more. It’s about desire, greed, and infatuation with a stranger. The song became strangely prophetic in recent months as I watched the one I once loved self destruct from afar ‘in tin cans and other crumbs of temporary self satisfaction’ – a line I wrote before I could even comprehend that it would become remotely true. Because of this, the song is now tainted with a strange sadness that I’ll carry with me every time I perform it.”

Every October I go on a very severe Siouxsie and the Banshees/Bauhaus/Love and Rockets/Tubeway Army bender and this single fits in seamlessly – October cites Bauhaus, Bowie, Siouxsie Sioux and Suicide as influences, then “squeezed through the gauze of modernity and electronics.”
