1st impressions: Eisley - Combinations

Eisley - Combinations [out Aug 14th via WBR]

1. Many Funerals [2:45] A dirty bass line and a memorable guitar riff.

2. Invasion [3:30] Upbeat number with a nice "yooooOOOOOuuuuu" vocal hook [Key Track]

3. Taking Control [3:00] The most immediate chorus on the album.

4. Go Away [3:00] The first slower track on the album: "go away / go away / and leave me on my own."

5. I Could Be There For You [3:30] A building piano ballad with choir-like backing vocals.  

6. Come Clean [3:30] Mandolin and harp-like sounds with a choir vocal outro ("Would you come clean / All around me"), followed by the sound of children playing. Sounds a bit like The Sundays. [Key Track]

7. Ten Cent Blues [4:00] An interesting mid-tempo number with a rootsy guitar-riff and hammond organ. [Key Track]

8. A Sight To Behold [3:00] Thundering drums and aggressive guitars.

9. Combinations [3:30] A low-key number backed almost exclusively by harp, with muted horns in the outro.

10. If You're Wondering [3:50] A gentle track with music-box twinkles.

Conclusion:

Each song mightily distinguishes itself, and with nearly every track being up-beat and short it's an album that can be enjoyed all in one sitting.

Comments

Can't wait for this album!

Vague?

Will still likely be one of the best releases of the year.
