Eisley
Marvelous Things

(Reprise; 2003)

By Heather Yarnell

Their second EP release of 2003, Eisley's eccentric pop style is still present, only this time with a slightly softer, more reserved ambience. The title track is a lush, sweeping oddity starring lawn-sprouted horses, shrubbery-seeking rabbits and curious hybrid creatures, while the stunning "Memories," with its supernatural subject matter and absorbing storytelling, is a highlight. "The Winter Song" paints a picture of chilly snow-covered streets contrasted against the warm radiance of windows illuminated from within. Eisley is ready to create that first album.
