Word on the street is that Baltimore heavy psych rockers The Flying Eyes — who are damn near statesmen at this point from the miles they’ve covered touring worldwide, though I’ve my doubts any of them are 30 — will do some recording when they make their return to South America next month. As in, for a follow-up to their 2013 third record, Lowlands (review here). That’s unquestionably good news, and since the tour winds up in Rio de Janeiro, which just happens to be where Gabriel Zander and Estudio Superfuzz are located, it seems like a safe bet that’s where they’ll go, which if you’re familiar with records Zander has helmed for the likes of Mars Red Sky, you know is also unquestionably good news.

And if all that positivity is too much for you, don’t worry, I’m sure whatever comes out of the sessions will be plenty bluesy. Announcement from Abraxas Events and tour dates follow, as dutifully scoured from the internets:

We are pleased to announce the return of friends the flying eyes in one more tour of South America! Stay tuned on our page for updates and information fresh!

The Flying Eyes are a heavy, psychedelic rock band hailing from Baltimore, Maryland. Since forming, they have played support gigs for bands such as Dead Meadow, The Raveonettes, The Black Angels, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti and Dan Auerbach among many others. They swiftly achieved a notable following in Europe with extensive club tours and festival appearances. Highlights include: Burg Herzberg Festival 2010 (sharing the main stage with Jeff Beck and Hawkwind), an appearance on the legendary Rockpalast Crossroads show broadcast on German national TV, Orange Blossom Special festival (DE), Stoned From The Underground (DE) and Trutnov Open Air (CZ).

In July 2013, The Flying Eyes released their third album “Lowlands”, which was paid for entirely by the support of their fans through Kickstarter. They supported the record with a 52 date headlining tour of Europe and closed out the year with a one off performance in India at the Synchronicity Festival.
