Love it! THOUGH, took me about two listens (granted, the first was not on speakers, but a smaller device). I love the outro, especially the piano where there's an accent note (or whatever the musical term is) where it sounds flat. Yes, I don't know if I would call it an automatically "catchy" song, but there's definitely layers of sound to enjoy as you let them soak and grow on you! |

^ yes & yes. My immediate thought was that it picks up where Laugh It Off left off tonally and takes it from one musical era (mid 70s fleetwood mac) to another (post millenial indie as informed by alternative & trip-hop). I thought Bjork, then considered how long it's been since she release a song that wasn't intentionally unconventional & abrasive in some way, and then thought of Bats For Lashes, but her stuff has never struck me as that percussive, and the combo of piano figures & percussion make this song an incredible tapestry of light wire pulsing in sync with a sudden spring storm hitting the surface of the water on a small pond as heard from a few feet below. I only listened via earbuds. I'm afraid to play it through my system. All the animals in the neighbor might suddenly encircle my house in a trance. _________________ yup, that's my name.

^I get a "Laugh It Off" vibe from it, too. I don't know why, but it just has that feeling to me. It really doesn't sound anything like it, but if the rest of the album is in this general area, LIO would have done beautifully on this album. _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R.

Haha! Wil, you crack me up. It's true, though. This song has a very underwater, enticing quality. Like a Siren. I think that was partially the point, but I'm loving it. I'm a huge, huge fan of this song and everything else I've heard. I'm ready for it. _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R. Kelly approves of peeing in the shower.

It just dawned on me that the album title Currents can be read as a double entendre... Consider that both songs we've heard are the most modern/ post-modern Eisley has ever sounded as a band, outside of that Combinations Remix that someone did... So there's the aquatic take on it, and the fact that this is Eisley making sophisticated contemporary music, that sounds... current. Well played Eisley, in every sense. _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

I think it's interesting that we've been gauging Radiohead's influence on Eisley tracks since practically the days of their inception but no one's mentioned them here. This is the closest I feel they've ever been. _________________

Sorry to double post, but I'm not done talking about this song/the REVITALIZATION OF EISLEY. Some more thoughts: - I finally listened to this on my headphones instead of my laptop speakers and I keep re-listening to hear all of the different instruments and h o l y c o w - would love to hear a rapper use some of the loops from this song, I think it could be beautiful - this weirdly makes me want to hear Eisley collab with Frank Ocean - or I'd even love to hear someone like Grimes remix this - if all of the album has this kind of contemporary feel to it, my mind is totally being opened up to having great tour partners like Chairlift, Widowspeak, Real Estate, or Warpaint _________________

i definitely hear the Sucre force at work and lots of Stacy's early garageband bounce. Shocked?! bit o' cocteau twins/DCD meets thievery corp. - very nice. and I trace that sound everyone's discussing that shows up in Sucre to the Like the Actors EP, specifically the title track. Maybe Aristocats a bit too, but we weren't supposed to have heard that, right? edit; did Garon grow his hair out? |

Did anything about the song make anyone think of their musical hero, Jeremy Enigk? _________________ I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away. |

never listened to jeremy enigk's solo so i can't say anything there. i thought radiohead, but i felt this was closer to bjork. -edit- i also wanna add that i like that they jam out the end of this song. _________________ Oneironaut http://www.facebook.com/ChengBand |
