One Eye Closed Take a Glimpse at a Dystopian Future in All of Us with Latest Release!
/Brand new rock band One Eye Closed take a sarcastic look at Japan's work ethics in new single “All Of Us”. Available across all digital streaming platforms the track sees the Tokyo quartet flip expectations once again, changing things up from the fresh nu-metal energy of “N.C.H.”, the winter ballad vibes of “With How I Feel” or the melodic-rock groove of “Monster”.
The band's bilingual vocalist REI comments, "We wanted to push ourselves as musicians with this track. “All Of Us” keeps our rock roots, but blends that core with funk, jazz and pop more so than any of our releases so far. Despite this being One Eye Closed's closest thing to a pop song, the lyrics are anything but."
“All Of Us” music video sees the band's members REI, none, Yasu and Kay in a dystopian future where everyone dresses the same, acts the same and are blind to the world around them. "It's an exaggeration of modern life," explains REI. "Here in Japan there's a real pressure to fit in with society. We thought there were a lot of avenues to explore around this concept, whether you're a musician with the expectations to make pop songs and not be true to who you are, or if you're a salary-man living with a boring, repetitive and enforced routine. We shouldn't be afraid to push back. That's the message of this song and its video."
