5.0 out of 5 stars I'm like you, so leave me alone, 23 Jan 2006
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It turns out the old saying is true: The family that plays together, stays together. Four siblings and their best pal make up indiepop group Eisley, whose debut EPs hinted at what they could do. And "Room Noises" certainly proves that their airy, whimsical pop was worth the long wait for.

Some of the songs are from those EPs, although they sound a bit tighter and smoother. For example, the heartbreaking ode to the bullied, "Telescope Eyes," or the prettily whimsical "Marvelous Things." Despite the airy poesy of the songs, there's a distinctly melancholy streak through the album, which peaks at the very beginning: "Memories," a haunting song about a woman mourning her husband's suicide.

Despite a few EP songs, they also have quite a few new songs, like the enchantingly sunny "Golly Sandra," which has echoes of the Beach Boys. But the sparkling pop vibe continues in other songs, carried over in piano melodies and smooth guitar riffs. "Still floating soft/I am dreaming and I'm glad I lost/And still with my fingers/I'm drawing circles in the water," the song goes, as fluid as the water it talks about.

That mixture of bittersweetness and innocent optimism is what makes Eisley so darn appealing. Nowhere are the stereotypical I-just-wanna-have-fun or my-boy/girlfriend-dumped-me-and-now-I-wanna-swim-with-the-toaster music for THIS pop band. While they have some love songs, the emphasis is on their enchanting kind of whimsy.

That whimsy carries over into just about whatever they sing about, whether it's Sherri and Staci singing about dragons in the woods, sunlight and butterflies, or metal teeth and "telescope eyes." Some of the lyrics seem to stray into Flaming Lips-type surrealism, but are also grounded by simple sentiments like, "You have shining eyes, yes like those forest lights, and it makes me want to cry."

After the past few years, with the group rapidly moving out of the teen bracket, one would wonder if Stacy and Sherri Dupree's angelic vocals would have gotten... well, not so pretty. No problem with that -- they sound a bit like younger versions of Beth Gibbons or perhaps Hope Sandoval. The two girls even interplay their vocals in on song, with remarkable skill and spine-tingling results.

At the start of one song, the line "Congratulations, we've finally made it" is sung. And so Eisley has -- and this promising band only shows signs of getting even better in albums to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eisley - A special kind of music just for you, 10 Mar 2005
I first heard of Eisley a couple of years ago when an American friend sent me a mix cd with their track 'Laughing City' on it, with it's lulling tune and haunting vocals it instantly had me hooked. Unfortunatly this song does not appear on this album but 12 other excellent tracks do.
Some of the songs (about 4 of them to be exact!) have appeared on Eisley's previous EP's but they in turn have been re-worked to appear on Room Noises.
The whole album is a lovely slice of Indie pop, perfect for slipping into your cd player and drifting away to. The stand out tracks on the album for me are Telescope Eyes, My Lovely, Plenty of Paper and Golly Sandra.
I reccomend this album to anyone who loves music, no matter what genre you are into i garuntee that you will be hooked by the lovely vocals and tunes. It makes a change to find an album that isn't chock-a-block with the singer complaining about their boy/girlfriend and how they hate everyone/wish that they could die. Instead Eisley write about dreams, outings to the wood and childhood.
All in all this album is perfect and almost never leaves my player.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely., 28 Dec 2005
Not a very popular band in the UK but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be.

I first heard about Eisley from someone on a forum and at first they did not stand out to me until I listened to Telescope Eyes about ten times and I'm glad I did. Eisley have become one of my favourite bands and I hope they continue to make unique music and tour the UK.

My favourite tracks on this one, apart from the ones reviewers already have mentioned, are My Lovely and One Day I Slowly Floated Away.
