British psychedelic pop/rock band Solar Eyes retain a firm grip on the top spot on my latest Weekly Top 30 for a second week with their beautiful track “I See the Sun“, and Spoon’s “The Hardest Cut” slides up to #2. Entering the top 10 are twenty øne piløts’ “The Outside” and Mitski’s “The Only Heartbreaker”. Sometimes it takes a while for a song to really grow on me, and after a slow start, Adele’s “Oh My God” leaps 10 spots to #14. Four great songs by artists I love make their debut this week: “B-Side” by Khruangbin & Leon Bridges, “Caviar” by Two Feet, “If You Ever Leave, I’m Coming With You” by The Wombats, and “What, Me Worry?” by Portugal. The Man.

The Solar Eyes and Spoon tunes hold up pretty well for me. “B-Side” has nice funky groove to it and is my favorite among your four new entries, based on my initial impression.

I’ve never heard of Solar Eyes but that tracks nice – kind of sounds like The Stones Roses with its jangle and hints of psychedelia.

They’re the brainchild of musician Glenn Smyth, and have put out several songs beginning only last year. I’ve previously featured them twice on my blog.

Solar eyes is so late 1960s early 1970s sounding. Definitely psychedelic San Francisco.
