The Eye, was the debut album of the Icelandic gothic rock group KUKL. This album was released in October 1984, through Crass Records and was recorded at Southern Studios in January 1984. Though under half an hour in length, the music ranges widely - from the wild, grotesque and deconstructionist punk rock of "Assassin" and "Seagull" to the almost danceable rhythm and church-like bells of "Dismembered" and several moments of exotic, oriental-styled music which is perhaps due to the influence of band-member Björk's supposed infatuation with the country of Japan at this stage in her life.
The album was named after Björk’s favourite book, The Story of the Eye, by Georges Bataille (1928), a very intense story about a young French couple involved in sexual perversions and violent behaviours.

The Eye starts with “Assassin”, a powerful track loaded with several instruments including electrically powered guitars backed up by bells and pipes, with lead vocals by Einar Örn Benediktsson and Björk whispering in the background.
“Anna” contains distinctly oriental-sounding flutes and slowly played drums throughout most of its length, which is suddenly broken by stronger layers of guitars and more rhythmic drum beats.

One of the most important songs taken from The Eye is “Dismembered”, a track that could be considered as a post punk work. Here most of the guitars have been replaced by pipes and bells. The original, more guitar-oriented version of this song first appeared as the single Söngull in 1983. The album closes with “Handa Tjolla”, a percussion-practise track which sounds more than anything like a Japanese taiko drumming ensemble.
