Lovers Eye begins with a recitative verse driven by a brooding bass line, thick melancholic strings, and a shrill wailing guitar. The song moves from cinematic grunge to indie rock with a trip hop fadeout. 

I should've kept my stare fixed on the ground
Twisted air
I blew through town 
I wish I'd known my foe would hang around
desire, desire
mirrors coated in thick dust
we are them
outlines of our mothers
I wish I'd known my foes would hang around
reflections meant for lovers

I tore through the lovers eye
and I crafted a lullaby
and I tore through the lovers eye
and I don't know why 

You were my kaleidoscope 
beautifying my naive dreams
you were my kaleidoscope 
I wish I'd known what it would mean 

And I tore through the lovers eye
and I crafted a lullaby 
and I tore through the lovers eye
and I don't know why

Lover's Eye

What started as a quarantine bedroom project turned into an unforgettable journey to west Texas for San Diego artist moondaddy. Multi-instrumentalist Cara Potiker dreamt up moondaddy as a way to escape the crippling existential dread that was plaguing us all during the 2020 lockdown. She became obsessed with analog equipment and tangible audio  formats.  The only activity that felt safe was crate digging at local  record stores. It inspired her to invest in a record lathe and tape deck to make physical demos. Eventually, Cara discovered El Paso Texas based Manuel Calderon “aka” El Cosmophonico on the back of her favorite record. She decided to hand over her demos for professional mixing. The two formed a fast musical connection and decided to cut a full album at Sonic Ranch, a pecan orchard and residential recording studio in Tornillo, Texas. Calderon and Potiker were joined by several talented local El Paso and Ciudad Juárez artists that contributed richness and depth to every soundscape. Pulling from influences from 1970’s glam rock to 90’s shoegaze, “Poet Lies” is a reverb soaked, shimmering, fever dream of a record.
