Biography

For years, Moen and Slusarenko played and wrote in the company of some of the most legendary songwriters of indie rock including Robert Pollard (Guided by Voices), Stephen Malkmus (Pavement/Jicks), Colin Meloy (The Decemberists) and Elliott Smith. In 2014 they decided that it was time to finally start writing and recording together, adding the talents of guitarist/vocalist Jonathan Drews (Sunset Valley, Damien Jurado). The end result was their thirteen song debut album, 854, which gained positive notes from A/V Club, Brooklyn Vegan, BBC6 Radio and MOJO magazine. NPR called them “Portland’s best kept secret”. That secret was short lived. Over the course of the next two-and-a-half years, the band issued recordings at a prolific clip: They’ve released six 7”s and two 12” EPs (which was labeled “EP/single of the year” by legendary East Coast freeform radio station WFMU ) and two full length LPs. They toured in the US and overseas, as headliners and as openers for Drive-By Truckers & The Charlatans UK (after hearing 854, Charlatans leader Tim Burgess asked to release the album overseas via his O Genesis label). Peter Buck of R.E.M. produces their records & folks from Rick & Morty animate their demise in videos. Eyelids newest full length "A Colossal Waste of Light" is out now. "With more than a hint of the Beatles, drenched in three West Coast guitars and as great as any alt American record gets." – Chris Hawkins, BBC6 Radio
