Tyler, TX family band Eisley are nothing if not prolific; depending on how you count, the group has issued something like ten EPs alongside three full lengths over their dozen years as a touring outfit. So it’s no surprise that, less than a year after 2011’s excellent The Valley, the band have returned with an EP of five new tracks. Deep Space furthers Eisley’s tradition of strong songwriting and nuanced production, while taking some unpredictable and intriguing left turns.
Eisley have never been ones to shy away from fanciful themes—their band name is a Star Wars reference, for starters—but Deep Space finds them pushing those boundaries, especially in contrast to the more conventional The Valley. Yet, as befits the EP’s Valentines Day release date, Deep Space’s five tracks all pull double duty as love songs as well. The pairing works. “Deep Space” finds the DuPrees imagining a couple blasting off together towards a home in the stars; “192 Days” and “Lights Out” both imagine characters transformed as animals, birds and bees, drawn together as nature demands. Each song here is dense with metaphor, but none get lost in it; careful craftsmanship abounds.
If the warm and melodic The Valley contained some of Eisley’s most straightforward work to date, Deep Space finds them tacking back toward more experimental sounds. There’s a considered focus on atmosphere: airy ethereality, sparse compositions, vast empty spaces where reverberations shimmer off beyond the horizon. “192 Days” floats along on acoustic guitar and piano, with percussion nowhere to be found. “Laugh It Off” dances through the same sonic spaces as Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams,” all fluttery falsettos and tight harmonies. Even when the arrangement is a little more dense, the sensibilities hold; when a bluesy single-string electric guitar solo sunbursts its way into “One Last Song”’s midsection, its fattened fuzz is given space to ring, grounded by soft synths, almost Floydian in nature. Deep Space evokes just that—an interstellar vacuum, empty and cold and quiet, peaceful and still, the physical analog to the mental planes of meditation.
Eisley have announced dates for a tour this summer in June and July. Check them out below by clicking “Read More.”
