We live with the constant fear of our mortality, knowing it’s one thing we can’t escape from. As we are born, so we shall one day pass on. The emotions that well in both cases appear to be insurmountable. However, we humans are a resilient lot that manage and find the will to go on.

The five-piece Melbourne garage-rock band Creature Fear intimately captures the emotional vulnerability of this predicament on Big Summer Eyes. Gentle acoustics and folk-like vocals from the group whisk you into a somber mood before a ray of hope shines through in the chorus and the drums later on.

Ultimately the listener concludes on what they feel when listening to Big Summer Eyes. There’s no doubt it pulls on heartstrings.
