"Dead Eyes," the first single from Adia Victoria's upcoming LP Beyond the Bloodhounds is a snarling, vicious rejoinder from someone who's finally over it. Angry but jaded, modern but traditional, the track is a slight departure from the doom blues of her debut EP, but it still treads on some of the same ground. The tempo here is considerably more upbeat, but that doesn't mean the tone has followed suit. That isn't a complaint—Adia has a voice all of her own, and we're psyched to hear the rest of the album.

Steam "Dead Eyes" below and keep your eyes alive and alert for the May 13 release of Beyond the Bloodhounds. -Austin Phy
