Search - Eight Legs :: Eight Legs

There is melancholy to British indie rock band Eight Legs that evokes experience rather than innocence. Songs like Can't Slow Down and These Grey Days speak of parties that ended in drunken disaster. Text message arguments between estranged young couples, and even that perennial rock and roll topic, boredom.
Yet somehow the music lifts the mundane teenage neuroses into something strangely, grand, beautiful and universal. Fashion designer Hedi Slimane fell under the spell of Eight Legs' chiming, classically English romantic rock that led to sound-tracking a Dior Homme Winter fashion show. Eight Legs is bitter sweet.
