Idris Vicuña (born May 28, 1990), known by his stage name Eyedress, is a Filipino musician, songwriter and producer based in Manila. He is the first Filipino musician from Manila to be signed to a major indie label in the United Kingdom.

Life and career

Eyedress is the alias of Filipino artist Idris Vicuña, formerly known as the lead guitarist of Manila-based psychedelic indie/noise pop band Bee Eyes. Born on May 28, 1990 in the city of Makati, Philippines, Vicuña relocated with his family to the United States at the age of 6 and was raised in Phoenix, Arizona before moving to San Clemente, California at the age of 13, where he started playing bass in a Crass-influenced crust punk band called The Liberal Underground and indie rock band Claud Winters.

In 2005, Vicuña moved back to Manila where he met his friends Julius Valledor (vocals/rhythm guitar) and Diego Abad (bass) on MySpace then later formed the band Bee Eyes, where he first played the drums then after several line-up changes started playing lead guitar and eventually vocals. The band name came from the time someone's mother accused them of being a "B.I." (a Filipino term for being a "bad influence.") Bee Eyes self released a couple of EPs, and made their own music videos, and became minor Internet celebrities after a cease-and-desist order from Sub Pop, whose logo they had copied for one of their T-shirts.

Vicuña learned the art of sampling through Valledor by making loops and mashing them up on the software Virtual DJ under the name “Castles Made Of Rad.” As their band started to gain more popularity, their bassist Diego Abad suddenly decided to leave the band to pursue his studies in Spain, which left Vicuña with lots of downtime to pursue his own solo project which would eventually become Eyedress.

The first physical releases of his solo project came out on underground French indie-pop/shoegaze label “Beko” and his first ever record titled “Hearing Colors” came out as a collaboration between Beko and Berlin based witchhouse label “Mater Suspiria Vision/Phantasma Disques.” Soon after its release, blogs started to pick up Vicuña's music and eventually found him his first official record deal with XL Recordings imprint Abeano. They would soon re-release “Hearing Colors” as a free mixtape via WeTransfer and released a 12-inch EP titled “Supernatural” which was praised by major publications such as The Guardian and NME.[1]

Moving on he soon followed up with his second full length titled “Shapeshifter” which was self released through his own label Babe Slayer Records, then limited copies were re-released on pink vinyl through aspiring independent UK label Headcount Records. Shapeshifter's opening track featured XL's own King Krule under his Edgar The Breathtaker alias, as well as several underground artists including North London rapper Oscar Worldpeace and LA rapper Pyramid Vritra just to name a few. Because of Shapeshifter and numerous supporting write ups from Noisey and The Fader, Eyedress’ music was discovered by legendary left field hip hop producer Prefuse73 who eventually got him a record deal with his current label London based Lex Records.

Now under Lex Records, he releases his third full-length record titled “Manila Ice” which was originally coined by Josh from the band Jungle when he jokingly told Idris while he was touring the UK with them as their supporting act that he should call his next album that. Years later he eventually named his debut record on Lex Records “Manila Ice” and it has slowly grown popular among fellow underground musicians and gained support from The Fader,[2] Hypebeast, Pigeons and Planes, and I-D.

His next record titled “Sensitive G” is scheduled to drop in November 2018 on Lex Records and features a track with dream pop singer/songwriter Fazerdaze.

He was also featured in King Krule's 2017 album "The Ooz" on the track "The Cadet Leaps" where he recites a poem in his native Filipino language (Tagalog) written by King Krule and translated by artist/painter Jeona Zoleta.
