"...with a swagger bigger than the stage ... the local quartet unloaded slacker punk energy with tunes that bounced between Eighties Dire Straits and Police, and the rawer garage guitar of Kurt Vile."Austin-based indie-rock band, Daniel Eyes & The Vibes, has teamed up with Earmilk to premiere their new music video for "Sweet Dreaming." Watch it here: bit.ly/1TsZgRr.-Austin Chronicle
"Sweet Dreaming" is the title-track from the band's new EP, available now on iTunes: apple.co/21jLVdt.
In line with the theme of dreaming, the song starts off slowly, delving into a full-on rock track as it progresses.
The video reflects this transition, first showing scenes from different dreams and memories (including projections of old movies, remnants of a party), which blend and turn chaotic in the final third of the video.

"We wanted the video to be dynamic and open to interpretation by introducing all the different vignettes and giving people the ability to pick up on new things every time they watch it," lead vocalist and guitarist, Daniel Eyes said. "If the video does its job, it should put the viewer in the same dream-like space that we exist in."Watch "Dessert Cocaine" on Texas Monthly, here: bit.ly/1ZnVjRQ, and listen to the EP's title track, "Sweet Dreaming" over at PureVolume: bit.ly/1PBbvV1.

The Sweet Dreaming EP was self-produced by the band's primary vocalist, songwriter, and guitar player, Daniel Eyes, with additional production from, Travis Kennedy (Walk The Moon, Ryan Adams). Grammy Award winner Gavin Lurssen (Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Pharrell, Eric Clapton, Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars) mastered the EP.
After recording several unreleased solo EP's, Daniel Eyes formed The Vibes alongside drummer Cruz Crase.
The pair recruited Russell Simonson on bass, and the addition of guitarist, Dylan Stephens, rounded out the group's core.
Characterized by high quality songwriting, personality, and raw energy, the band's music is easily relatable to any listener.
Daniel Eyes & The Vibes' pop-structured rock n' roll sound is tinged with a blues influence, leaning heavily on older influences such as The Police, Tom Petty, and The Rolling Stones, combined with the modern sensibility of bands like Kurt Vile, Dawes, and Kings of Leon. Frontman Daniel Eyes' knack for generating concise, tuneful pop songs keeps the band lingering in the minds of the audience far past their initial introduction.
The band's home base of Austin also holds a strong influence on their music.
According to Daniel Eyes, people care about the music scene in a way that is harder to find in other cities: "We pick up little pieces of inspiration from everything we listen to, not to mention great local acts we may not even know the names of." Austin has been the place for the band to cut their teeth and figure out their identity.SXSW Showcases:
