Topics of depression, anxiety, trust issues, self-harm, and suicide are all reflected in the song lyrics and sound in hopes of reaching those who are going through the same things or something similar. The album also spans different genres and styles, showcasing just a small glimpse of what the band is capable of doing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-54459\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/one-eye-closed-adam-and-eve-350x350.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"290\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/one-eye-closed-adam-and-eve-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/one-eye-closed-adam-and-eve-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/one-eye-closed-adam-and-eve-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/one-eye-closed-adam-and-eve.jpg 799w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/>In total, the upcoming album will consist of 11 tracks, an interesting mix of catchy, loud and intense songs. These 11 songs on this album are from earlier released EPs <em>Cain<\/em> and <em>Abel<\/em>, but also recent singles, in the order of release. That means that there are no surprises of songs in that department, although being able to hold a physical version of the music in your hands makes it special. This new album should therefore be seen as a compilation release. Particularly interesting to note is the remaster of the track <em>Low<\/em>. The song was previously featured as the ending theme to multi-award-winning music adventure video game <em>No Straight Roads<\/em> and has gotten a new twist by \u042fyo Trackmaker, who is better known as the former drummer of girugamesh.<\/p>\n<p>This track&#8217;s music video shows a more energetic part of the band and fits well with the track, which seems also to be the most popular single of the band. A fun fact is that guitarist None wears a Bunk Bed Junction T-shirt, which is the name of the band of Mayday and Zuke, the two main characters of the game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"One Eye Closed \u2013 Low (Official Music Video) [No Straight Roads Ending Theme]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kWs5u2o_8vs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Back to the album, the artwork and other designs present in the physical copy of <em>Adam &amp; Eve<\/em> are designed by the vocalist REI. Since the album is a collection of songs from <em>Cain<\/em> and <em>Abel<\/em> and recent singles (excluding <em>All of Us<\/em>) and share a connected concept, the design is designed to be the &#8216;finale&#8217; of the artwork for <em>Cain<\/em> and <em>Abel<\/em>, which were both also designed by REI. Looking at the designs of <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Cain<\/em> and <em>Abel<\/em>, it starts to explore the concept of duality, representing the characters in the concept to be facing each other, while <em>Adam &amp; Eve<\/em>\u2018s features a singular box in the centre, symbolising the characters in the concept becoming one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The titles from the first EPs also are directly inspired by the story of Cain and Abel from the bible and also how makes an alternate persona to make things easier for him. \u201cPutting words into a fictional character is much easier and therapeutic for me when it comes to expressing my deepest and most painful thoughts,\u201d REI shares. The album <em>Adam &amp; Eve<\/em> borrows from Christianity, like with <em>Cain<\/em> and <em>Abel<\/em>, but this time, the title of the new album represents the start of One Eye Closed\u2019s journey as a band. \u201cWe\u2019re not a Christian band, and our songs aren\u2019t meant to be Christian songs, but we just can\u2019t help but be fascinated with the stories and philosophies of religion and implement them into our song concepts. There are times where people go through so much pain and suffering that they question their own beliefs; we wanted to reflect that into our lyrics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The young rock band already have a few impressive activities to their name, including providing a track for a video game and joining JPU Records in addition to recording music while being in lockdown. An album with a collection of released singles and EPs was a logical next step and creates anticipation of what more One Eye Closed will do in the future but is also a beautiful presentation of the band&#8217;s first steps, a closure of the first phase and the start of the next phase. That makes it also a perfect introduction for those who haven&#8217;t listened to One Eye Closed before.<\/p>\n<p><em>Adam &amp; Eve<\/em> is currently available for listening via the <a href=\"https:\/\/smarturl.it\/1IX-adam-and-eve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digital highway<\/a> and available at <a href=\"https:\/\/jpurecords.com\/products\/one-eye-closed-adam-and-eve?sca_ref=28221.T1AxBN34aF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JPU Records<\/a> as a physical and downloadable version.
