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
