Eisley w/ Merriment
Eisley's fourth album, Currents, is a study in contrasts. It's the sound of a band growing up, but not forgetting the magical power of childlike curiosity or the joy of unselfconscious creativity. It's an album that nods to playful pop and stormy rock, but also gentle electronica and delicate classical.
