High Voltage\u201d and \u201cGay Bar,\u201d have just released a new studio recording featuring the band\u2019s superb take on the The Alan Parsons Project\u2019s 1982 rock classic \u201cEye In The Sky.\u201d E6\u2019s version maintains the song\u2019s haunted air but vocalist\/founder Dick Valentine adds grit and soul to the chorus with his trademark passionate howls while the rest of the band, including lead guitarist Johnny Na$hinal, keyboardist Tait Nucleus?, rhythm guitarist Da V\u00e9, and bassist Rob Lower, give the song a modern feel without sacrificing any of the vintage \u201880s vibes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stream the single:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/electric_six_eye_in_the_sky\">https:\/\/orcd.co\/electric_six_eye_in_the_sky<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The band had this to say about the single, \u201cThe highlight of this project for us was actually discovering what Alan Parsons looks like. We always pictured him as a tender, slender man for some reason&#8230;.maybe looking a bit like Howard Jones or Thomas Dolby, but less arty. To my delight, it turns out Mr. Parsons looks like what you&#8217;d get if you genetically spliced Barry Gibb, Captain Morgan and 150 protein shakes. If you looked up the term \u2018guy with a yacht\u2019 in the encyclopedia, you&#8217;d find a picture of Alan Parsons. The song itself is so soothing, so mellow, so relaxing that I believe it could serve as an alternative to general anesthesia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>This new single is released in conjunction with L.A.-based indie label Cleopatra Records, who also featured Electric Six\u2019s cover of another British rock icon, David Bowie, \u201cBlue Jean\u201d from the 2015 album\u00a0<em>A Salute To The Thin White Duke<\/em>. E6 is also prepping a new album of cover tunes for Cleopatra that will be coming in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Garage Rock revivalists Electric Six, perhaps best known for their the smash hit singles&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13807,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[1258,301],"class_list":["post-13806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-electric-six","tag-garage-rock"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13806"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13806\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13808,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13806\/revisions\/13808"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
