Editor's note

Naked Eyes, the synthpop duo behind a classic '80s cover

A British pair whose 1982 hit "Always Something There to Remind Me" defined a certain glossy, atmospheric sound.

For the full picture, start with "Always Something There to Remind Me," then maybe "Voices In My Head." That's the duo in a nutshell.

They took a Burt Bacharach song and made it a synthpop standard, with Pete Byrne's vocals floating over Rob Fisher's keyboard arrangements. That track, along with songs like "Promises, Promises," captures the precise, slightly melancholic mood of early-'80s British pop. You still hear it on '80s retrospectives because it nailed that moment.

Formed in 1981, they released their self-titled debut in 1983 anchored by that hit. They put out a few more albums like Fuel for the Fire before disbanding in 1988, with Fisher later starting Climie Fisher and Byrne working sporadically.

Archive material and source history

Naked Eyes was a British synthpop duo formed in 1981 by singer Pete Byrne and keyboardist Rob Fisher. They're best remembered for their 1982 single "Always Something There to Remind Me," which became a major hit with its combination of Byrne's vocals and Fisher's synth arrangements. The song anchored their self-titled 1983 debut album.

Beyond that signature track, they recorded material like "Promises, Promises" and "Voices In My Head," and put out several albums through the mid-1980s including Fuel for the Fire and Burning Bridges. The duo's output leaned on the atmospheric, keyboard-driven sound that defined much of early-'80s British pop.

Naked Eyes disbanded in 1988. Rob Fisher later co-founded the group Climie Fisher, while Pete Byrne continued to perform and record sporadically. Their music, particularly "Always Something There to Remind Me," still surfaces on '80s retrospectives and playlists.
