Bergpolder / Netherlands / 2025
Eye Flutter, the debut LP from anonymous collective Ferries, is a strikingly confident and character-rich record blending hauntological odd-pop, kraut-influenced experimentalism, glam, and early synthpop. Released on Bergpolder (home to acts like Goldblum and Lewsberg), the album fits seamlessly within their eclectic catalog while maintaining a unique identity. Despite the mystery around the group, Eye Flutter stands firmly on its musical merits, drawing comparisons to Panda Bear, Atlas Sound, and Can, but interpreted in vibrant, technicolour forms. Limited to 150 copies, this is a bold, infectious release that demands attention—enigmatic yet deeply engaging.
