Tunnel Eye by Pet Owner

„There’s a smile that appears — too bright, too perfect — and the ordinary becomes strange. Grass grows wild. You’ve been here before. You’ve been here before. A road without end. The sun kisses your face. The window becomes your X-ray. Time folds and every turn leads deeper into it.“

With Tunnel Eye, Swiss artist Pet Owner announces her sophomore album Second Nature (out early 2026) and invites us into a surreal indie-pop landscape.

Tunnel Eye was written in a snow-covered mountain cabin in the heart of Switzerland. In the alpine solitude of winter, warm guitars merge with subtly shimmering synthesizers and soft textures. An intimate, almost whispered voice guides the listener through a playful yet expansive arrangement.

Following her debut Natural Behaviour (2022), Pet Owner deliberately steps away from the familiar, leaving her comfort zone in search of new inspiration. Tunnel Eye captures this restless forward motion — dreamy and disorienting — where clarity slips and the unexpected suddenly appears.

Pet Owner describes with a velvety voice the world that surrounds her. She programs drum machines from the 80s, adds folky guitar riffs, quirky noises and elapsed synths.
In addition to the colourful essence of the music, so too are the artwork and music videos for the LP created by Pet Owner.
