Indigo Eyes delivers a warm, electronic take on Holly Humberstone's 'The Walls Are Way Too Thin', out October 27th
LISTEN TO ‘THE WALLS ARE WAY TOO THIN’
After recently following up his incredible EP ‘Close To You’ with the vibrant singles ‘Sad All The Time’ (With Houis & Taura Lamb), as well as ‘Where Were You’ and ‘One More Night’ earlier this year, emerging producer Joseph Robson aka Indigo Eyes has returned once again to unveil an incredible cover of the recent Holly Humberstone hit ‘The Walls Are Way Too Thin’.
Marking one of the rare occasions in which he lends his own vocals to a song, his reworking of ‘The Walls Are Way Too Thin’ sees him completely transform the indie-pop gem. Swapping out sweeping alt-pop guitar hooks for a warm and pulsing electronic base, his latest effort showcases more of that bold versatility he has brought to all of his work to date and sees him venture into an exciting and adventurous territory.
Speaking about the cover, he said, “I never thought I'd cover someone else's song, especially since I've been solely a producer and haven’t ventured into singing before. However, I was completely in awe when I heard the original from Holly, the song resonated with me hugely and I became obsessed with how personal the lyrics felt. I wanted to recreate the track in my own style, with a kind of late night, comforting feel to it. It started out as a bit of an experiment over a few days, where I tried out using my own voice over this warm, soft production, as it's something I'd never done before, but became something I really loved. This sound marks a new kind of direction for my music, one which you'll be hearing a lot of over the next few months.”
Since the release of his debut EP, Indigo Eyes has also been busy on the remix circuit. Adding his take to the Kehina cut 'All Over Again', as well as reworking Joe Hertz’s 'Colourblind', which has since racked up more than 340k streams on Spotify alone.
Indigo Eyes is the alias of electronic artist Joseph Robson from London, England. Starting out with childhood lessons in a number of instruments he gradually became a bedroom producer with a deep fascination in dance music and the UK house scene, with influences among the likes of Disclosure, AlunaGeorge, and SG Lewis.
After first discovering his love for electronic music at the age of 15 when he snuck into a Martin Garrix performance in Ibiza, he is showing a level of diversity and imagination far beyond his years. Coupling smooth and ethereal tones with shuffled beats and seductive grooves has given him an original and driven style that many are quickly beginning to take notice of.
Following on from this, his production style consists of warm synths and soul-oriented guitar melodies. Being a long time fan of the singer-songwriter duo ‘Oh Wonder,’ a chance encounter with their dog sitter led to an opportunity for him to develop a relationship with the duo and remix ‘Lose It,’ a fan favourite track of theirs, which, in addition to various other remixes and instrumentals, helped Joseph grow an online fan base long before his first commercial release.
2020 saw the release of his debut EP ‘Close To You’, which demonstrated his eclectic sound through a set of four diverse tracks, featuring collaborations from up and coming artists ‘De Rien’ and Georgie O’Brien’ along with the already well established ‘LissA.’ With lots of incredible new music on the horizon, Indigo Eyes looks set to become the next big name to emerge from the electronic producer scene.
