The Lazy Eyes Return With ‘Cheesy Love Songs’ And Dreamy New Single ‘The One Who Got Away’

Australian psych-pop quartet The Lazy Eyes have announced their long-awaited second album Cheesy Love Songs, set for release on 21st August, marking their first new material in four years.

The Lazy Eyes

The Lazy Eyes (Pooneh Ghana)

Leading the campaign is new single The One Who Got Away, a woozy, introspective track that signals a shift in tone for the band while retaining the kaleidoscopic charm that defined their debut era. Blending hazy psychedelia with heartfelt lyricism, the single explores longing for a love that never quite materialised—capturing the tension between fantasy and reality with a bittersweet glow.

Formed by dual singer-guitarists Itay Shachar and Harvey Geraghty alongside drummer Noah Martin and bassist Leon Karagic, The Lazy Eyes first emerged from Sydney’s live circuit while still in school. Their early EPs and 2022 debut album SongBook quickly established them as one of the most exciting young acts in modern psych-rock, earning international attention and millions of streams.

With Cheesy Love Songs, the band lean into a more refined and emotionally resonant approach. Inspired by the stripped-back production ethos of Rick Rubin, the album foregrounds songwriting over studio excess, drawing influence from a lineage that stretches from The Beach Boys and The Beatles to Amy Winehouse and Sparklehorse.

Described by the band as an exploration of their “softer, love song side,” the record captures complex emotional states through deceptively simple melodies and lush arrangements. It’s a deliberate evolution—one shaped by time, distance, and a conscious decision to step back, reassess, and rebuild their identity heading into 2026.

That growth follows a whirlwind few years which saw The Lazy Eyes tour globally, share stages with Wet Leg, Djo and The Strokes, and appear at major festivals including SXSW and All Points East—all before the band members turned 25.

Now entering a new chapter, Cheesy Love Songs promises to be both a reinvention and a reaffirmation: a collection rooted in classic pop sensibilities, yet shaped by the band’s signature sense of experimentation and wonder.
