With Our Eyes on the Road, We Wish We Could Stay Dreaming supports a sound almost entirely separate to that of Magnavox’s previous release, Naptsud. In his second release, Magnavox sets out to prove himself that he can still make interesting music without touching a sampler, relying on more hollistic forms of experimenting. The result is an album noticeably darker, with an instrumentation comprised of no more than a bass guitar, a molding piano in desperate need of a tuning, a cheap drum machine running on AA batteries, and a few miscellaneous percussive instruments ranging from pots and pans to dented globes of the planet earth. The album was made using almost entirely anologue methods, the only exceptions including a few digital effects applied to vocals and the use of a white-noise generator on the opening track. While the bulk of the release consists of material written ages ago that never really got recorded until now, it is noteworthy that the EP’s final track exists as the earliest surviving recording by Magnavox, stemming back to winter of 2006.


In summary, With Our Eyes on the Road… is not about what appeals to the ears, but rather what appeals to the soul.
