Eyelids may be primarily based on the West Coast, but it’s quite prudent of the band members to pass through Athens, considering how many connections it has to our quirky town. Its newest album, and fifth in its ever-growing discography, was produced by Peter Buck and the first to feature new bassist Victor Krummenacher of Camper Van Beethoven. A Colossal Waste of Light is a solidly built, jangling album. If, when you listen, a certain list of artists come to mind, it’s probably no coincidence. Members of Eyelids have played and toured extensively with Stephen Malkmus, Guided By Voices and Elliot Smith. It’s clear that styles align here, but there’s no sense of it being derivative, but rather original and refreshing. Elf Power will also be on the lineup for the night.
