Big Eyes is back with a new single, a tour at the end of the month, and a brand new LP titled Streets of the Lost.

The new album releases on April 5 on Greenway Records, with the teaser track “Lucky You” out now (below).

“‘Lucky You’ is about the lack of awareness people often have concerning their privilege, and the abundance of entitlement that often accompanies wealth,” says vocalist Kait Eldridge. “This song is not about class war. Some people are just born into lucky circumstances. It's a reminder for everyone to recognize their privilege, be grateful for what you have, and stand up for those who aren't quite as lucky.”

In speaking of the album at large, the band says Streets of the Lost explores heavier topics than their previous work.

As much I knew I’d like this record after spending some time with Almost Famous and seeing the band live a few times, I was hesitant to review it. There are certain sounds I have trouble describing. So while I enjoyed Almost Famous, it had this hard to summarize element where I felt vocalist Kait Eldridge’s lyrics blended into guitar … Read more

Seattle is made out to be such a dreary place. Big Eyes released a largely positive-sounding debut in Hard Life and the reviews basically talked about the band’s relocation from Brooklyn to Seattle. Now, with the release of sophomore full-length Almost Famous, the press sheet says things like “a bit of Seattle seeps in,” no doubt referring to some of the darker-tinged passages.The … Read more

Kate Eldridge (Big Eyes) What is the most annoying recurring thing you read about your band (whether accurate or not)? I am really bothered by the term "female fronted." Being a "FEMALE" has nothing to do with the music I write and play. It also sounds so unnecessarily scientific. Nobody says … Read more
