You’ve never heard of
Eisley. They’re comprised of three (young and very cute) sisters,
Sherri, Stacey and Chauntelle DuPree, their gawky brother Weston who
plays the drums and some other long drink of water who’s a pal of
the brother, Garron Weston – his job is to play the bass and try not
to block people’s views of the girls when onstage.
At this stage those of
you familiar with my t.A.T.u. fixation will be reckoning to
yourselves that it’s the girlies that caught my attention here. Not
true. It’s about the
music. Same with t.A.T.u., but that’s another
article.
If Eisley were a British
group, the three girls (one blonde, one brunette and one ‘kooky’ to
cater to all tastes) would never be off the cover of Heat magazine
and Myleene Klass would have to get a real job. Instead they come
from Tyler, Texas and describe themselves as a Christian Indie-rock
group. I don’t know
where the Christian element comes in, but Eisley specialise in
harmonies over the sort of wafty, ethereal pop Enya would make if
she had access to guitars. And there were three of her. And a couple
of blokes.
It’s lovely and it makes me feel happy
when I listen to it. Eisley released their debut album ‘Room Noises’ in 2005 following on from two previous EPs –
‘Laughing City’ (2003, ) and ‘Marvelous Things’ (2004). I heard ‘I wasn’t prepared’
at a listening station in Tower Records when ‘Laughing City’
was released and I’ve been a fan ever since. Check out their website at
MySpace.com which has audio streams of some of their
tracks.
