His successful independent music run has recently been recognized with a major label co-sign from RCA Records. The Filipino creative’s latest release stays true to his formula of alternative sonics, partnered with trippy visuals.
Eyedress just dropped a mellow new song titled “Escape From The Killer” and the single comes in two different versions. The two editions, 1994 and 2008, draw inspiration from the sound of their accompanying eras.

Remember the old school games that used to be played online before high-definition came along? Filipino artist, Idris Vicuña-aka EYEDRESS is bringing it back in his latest music video for the track, "Smoke & Mirrors." Watch him and the crew featuring NA-KEL SMITH, BOOFPAXKMOOKY, CASHCACHE cruise around the city and kick it together. Roll with them as the vibe of the music video isn't just for aesthetics. It also introduces the EYEDRESS game that's available both for PC and Mac consoles.
According to the singer, the inspiration for the track comes from raps on SoundCloud. He says, "I've been inspired by the jazz chords and synthesizers they would use on their plug beats to the point where I felt some sort of connection, because the sound was pretty similar to what I was trying to do making indie rock songs."
EYEDRESS is gearing up to perform at this year's Coachella Festival alongside Fil-British singer beabadoobee and other 88Rising artists. Catch them both weekends on the Sunday lineup with EYEDRESS performing on the Sonora stage and beabadoobee taking on the Gobi stage.
