This song is something as rare as a commissioned work. When Major Parkinson crowdfunded their previous album, one of the available perks was to have a new song written for you. An anonymous woman paid 1.357 Euros, and this is the end result. The band got very little info about this person, except that she has a strong literary fascination for the German author E.T.A. Hoffman. Hence, this song is an homage to Hoffman's 200 year old short story "The Sandman", where a delusional man falls in love with a mechanical doll. "Pretty Eyes, Pretty Eyes" is an exploration of this Faustian love pact and the complexity of narcissism, through the vehicle of a 2 minute punk song.

Major Parkinson is a particle collider of huge, cinematic melodies, catchy pop hooks, impossible rhythms and psychedelic lyrics. A distinctly different band, with an unconventional, associative and almost irrational approach to the art of writing music.
