Description
Artist Focus is a new series hosted by the extended Melodic Distraction family that deep dives into their favourite artists.
Combining sounds, texts, cultures and ideas, Pablo's Eye is a Belgian collective that meanders across many different mediums. Their music draws from many different places, creating dreamy and introspective collages in the process. After a prolific period of releases during the 90’s, they entered a two-decade long hiatus where their records sat beneath the surface of a vast musical landscape. Their return was marked most prominently in 2018 with a set of three compilations on STROOM. These albums reassembled much of their previous work, giving it a new identity and introducing them to a wider audience.
This episode is a musical accompaniment to an interview I did with the founder of Pablo's Eye, Axel Libeert. We traversed the life of the band from the early years in the 90's, up until the present day.
