London-based duo Burr Island is back with a mesmerizing new single that’s set to tug at the heartstrings of listeners worldwide. ‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’, released via Left Foot Records, marks a milestone in their musical journey.

Comprising the talented members Tom England and Oskar Porter, Burr Island is the perfect example of the power of friendship and the magic of music. Trained as actors, Tom and Oskar found solace and inspiration on the windswept shores of the Jurassic Coast during the dark days of lockdown. It was there, against the backdrop of crashing waves and rugged cliffs, that Burr Island was born.

Drawing inspiration from legendary songsmiths like Lennon/McCartney, Paul Simon, and Nick Drake, Burr Island is known for its acoustic folk sounds that are both timeless and tender. With influences ranging from The Beach Boys to Crosby, Stills & Nash, their sound has been compared to indie folk luminaries like Fleet Foxes and Kings of Convenience.

‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’ is a beautiful piano ballad that captures the essence of love in all its forms. With lilting vocal lines and warm choral harmonies reminiscent of CSNY, the track is a heartfelt ode to the bonds that tie us together. As Tom and Oskar reveal, “This is a love song for anyone who wants it. Whether you’re a grandmother cherishing the time with your young grandchild, friends with an unbreakable bond, or star-crossed lovers sinking into each other’s eyes, this song is for you.”

As the release of their highly anticipated album, ‘Days Dreamt’, approaches on May 31st, Burr Island is gearing up to enchant audiences with their soul-stirring melodies and captivating performances. Don’t miss your chance to experience the magic of Burr Island live at St Pancras Old Church on June 6th—trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
