Pablo’s Eye are back with a new album on STROOM 〰. 'The light was sharp, our eyes were open' is a series of 14 tracks that flow intimately into one another, without beginning or end (to quote a line from the album). The music is pushed even further into ambient territory.
In addition to the involvement of all regular members of the collective, PE are proud to have on board Noor-e-Sehar Ali the writer and DJ based in London. Noore wrote and performed the text 'The dog days are long gone'.

“A group of friends go sailing and one disappears. The others start searching for her. But it gradually becomes apparent that she won’t be found. So the friends return home one by one. Only the missing girl’s lover and her best friend remain.They have begun an affair. As the lovers come together the girl’s disappearance is all but
forgotten.”
