Lynden Segura comments on the single and new beginnings:

“This song tries to encapsulate the mindset of a narcissist who has had their ego shattered. The feeling of actual vulnerability, insecurity and distress weighing in at an uncontrollable pace. Flooding the mind with the reality of the heart. True fear.

With the three of us almost hanging it up after our last band split and our new bassist going through a similar situation, it feels reassuring when playing now knowing we made the right decision to move forward. This sound I think is internally how we felt moving on from it and where we are now because of it and we couldn’t be more grateful. I’m looking forward to the future with these guys.”

Drawing inspiration from an array of styles including post-hardcore, shoegaze, progressive and rock, IAK also take influence from artists such as Cloakroom, Pile, Jawbox and Intronaut.

The quartet’s high-intensity sound creates an abyss within »EYE(self)« that one can easily sink into throughout it’s duration. Heavily fuzzed and distorted guitars deliver wave upon wave of riffs that entwine to weave a dark atmosphere. Pounding percussion and gut wrenching vocals cut through the gloom with a sharp edge.

Lynden Segura – Vox, Guitar
