why? why is this here?| Posted July 26, 2007
Eisley doesn't seem to be christian in the slightest. The most christian aspect of this band is that their album is sold in christian stores. Besides that, this is one of the strongest albums out there and each song has its own story and own solid base. It's a great album and an amazing debut.
"Marvelous Things"... now that's a fitting title.| Posted July 17, 2007
This album is great. I'd even go so far say that it is underrated.
Eisley's music consists of acoustic pop/rock (in the vein of Sixpence None The Richer) with beautiful vocal harmonies and dreamy lyrics that take you to another place.
What's not to love?
This is Eisley's first full-length album after having released a couple of EPs.
This is not your typical debut, to be sure.
There's not a song that I don't enjoy.
"Memories" provides the album with a surprisingly melancholy start, and the rest of the album weaves a fairytale of a story.
I like that the band seems unafraid to try different styles of music.
If you compare "Golly Sandra" to "One Day I Slowly Floated Away" to "My Lovely", you'll see what I mean.
While not "spiritual" lyrically, this album explores emotions, young love, and innocence in a positive way.
This band is slowly gaining attention, though you may not have heard of them yet.
Rest assured, you most likely will in the future. I'd like to see where they go next.
