BREAKS: “Two Glass Eyes” Captures the Dark Side of Obsession

Los Angeles-based indie rock band BREAKS brings raw, unfiltered energy to their latest single, "Two Glass Eyes." Emerging from Damien Goyenechea’s studio project, BREAKS has evolved into a gritty, hard-hitting live act with a sound reminiscent of The Clash, The Ramones, and Joy Division. With DIY production techniques and a distinct lo-fi edge, their music resonates with the ghosts of classic punk and post-punk while remaining firmly rooted in the present.

“Two Glass Eyes” tells the story of obsession, a volatile, all-consuming infatuation with a lover that teeters between intense passion and unnerving possessiveness. The lyrics paint a picture of a protagonist who is both mesmerized and unhinged, willing to protect and destroy in equal measure.

The chorus, "I'm a mean motherfucker when I'm inclined / I wake every morning with two glass eyes," encapsulates the detached, almost psychotic state of someone losing themselves in an unhealthy fixation. The phrase "glass eyes" suggests a numb, vacant stare, as if the intensity of love has drained the narrator of all rationality.

BREAKS delivers a track that feels like a late-night drive through the neon-lit backstreets of LA, dangerous, hypnotic, and relentless. Distorted guitars, a pulsating bassline, and a gritty, snarling vocal performance create an atmosphere that feels both urgent and chaotic.

The band’s influences shine through, the track has the melancholic introspection of The Smiths, the raw energy of The Ramones, and the dark, brooding tension of Joy Division. But rather than simply emulating their heroes, BREAKS carves out a space of their own, merging post-punk, garage rock, and indie grit into something uniquely compelling.

“Two Glass Eyes” is as emotionally unsettling as it is sonically thrilling. With its intense storytelling and relentless instrumentation, the song cements BREAKS as a band unafraid to explore the darker corners of human emotion. If this single is any indication, their upcoming work will continue to push boundaries.
