Eisley

If ever an album title were more appropriate to the songs contained within then this would be it. Eisley’s second album is quite the combination, with an eclectic mix of pop, melodic mellow tracks, techno and harsher rock elements, with beautiful vocals on top.

Band members Sherri DuPree (guitar, vocals), Chauntelle DuPree (guitar), Weston Dupree (drums), Stacy Dupree (keyboard, vocals), and Garron Dupree (bass), four siblings and a cousin have broken out of the boundaries of typical genres to create a unique mixture than works to their advantage, and really sets them apart from other bands around at the moment.

Those who are expecting a similar album to their 2005 release 'Room Noises' will be bitterly disappointed as this album is quite clearly a product of the band’s time. Whilst the band has become known for their soft and dreamy tracks, this album showcases a harsher, rockier sound.
The album’s diverse sound ranges from rocky tracks, such as opener, 'Many Funerals,' and 'A Sight to Behold' feature heavy guitars and create tracks will a harrowing, quality to tracks such as 'Invasion' which plays heavily on techno beats, to tracks much closer to the mellow sound people would expect from the US band, such as 'Come Clean' and 'If You’re Wondering.' The majority of the album sounds like these tracks, with sweet and lullaby-esque tracks.

The album is one that is instantly likeable and with its various different influences and different sounds it’ll appeal to most. It has a great laid-back album for when you need something to chill to.
