LOS ANGELES, CA (July 14, 2023) – Today, alt singer-songwriter and producer Eyedress releases his latest single, “Teen Mom” out now via RCA Records.
Dedicated to his mother, “Teen Mom” is a shoegaze-laced track that nods to Eyedress’ childhood growing up in the ‘90s while paying tribute to his parent. The song is accompanied by its music video, which bounces between filmed footage and stop-motion claymation. An homage to classic sitcoms, the visual follows Eyedress and his family as he recounts all the things his mom did for him as a kid.
Says Eyedress of the song, “I came up with the riff and the main chorus idea more than ten years ago when I was still living with my parents in the Philippines. Lyrically I was trying to revisit my childhood and what it was like for me growing up in America. I wanted to show my mom’s perspective because I spent a lot of time with her while my dad would be at work. She would do everything from driving me to school to driving me and my friends to the mall or the skatepark during our free time.”
“Teen Mom” is the latest release from Eyedress since signing with RCA Records earlier this year. In February, he released the Valentine’s Day ode “Flowers & Chocolate,” paired with a music video directed by multi-hyphenate Eddie Huang. In May, Eyedress followed suit with a two-track bundle of his single “Escape From The Killer,” which was released in two distinct variations – a synth-laden 1994 version and an alt-pop, acoustic 2008 version.
Next month, Eyedress will perform in LA as part of Head In The Clouds Festival, taking place on August 5 & 6 at Brookside at the Rose Bowl.
Born in Manila and now residing in Los Angeles, Filipino artist Eyedress has continued to make a name for himself over the past decade, blending a wide array of genres from lo-fi hip-hop to post-punk to ‘80s-influenced goth and more to craft something that is distinctly and wholly his own. He certified himself as an artist to watch when his 2019 single “Jealous” hit viral status, appearing in over one million videos on TikTok and earning an RIAA platinum certification. He followed suit with “Romantic Lover” the following year and “Something About You” in 2021, both of which have gone gold. Last year, Eyedress made his Coachella debut and released his latest full-length project FULL TIME LOVER, which featured collaborations from N.E.R.D.’s Chad Hugo, Nosaj Thing, The Drums, and more, including his partner, Elvia. The acclaimed record earned an official remix treatment from Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, who put his own spin on the album’s track “HOUSE OF CARDS.”
