Noise Pop 2015: Check out all of our festival coverage!

Maryam Qudus, the vision behind Doe Eye, recorded the lovely and distorted creation with John Vanderslice at Tiny Telephone on two-inch tape. Just imperfect enough, the album released in April was after two well-received EPs entitled Run Run Run and Hotel Fire. She initially gained notice when LIVE 105 took single "I Hate You" from Run Run Run under its far-reaching wings, and regularly played the song on-air. A recent tweet revealed that she [...]

Riding high on the heels of her debut album, T E L E V I S I O N, Maryam Qudus--the woman behind the indie rock project Doe Eye--is celebrating her return from a three week tour with an official record release party tomorrow, May 29. Dropped exactly a month ago, the album was produced by Tiny Telephone founder John Vanderslice and engineered by Jacob Winik, two artists who Qudus has credited with further extracting the pensive melancholy that already pervades her music. Joining Doe Eye will be the Oakland-based experimental pop outfit DRMS and San Francisco's own surf rock darlings The She's, so if you're craving some pop [...]
