NEW YORK, NY (Top40 Charts/ By Fernando Aguilar/ Warner Bros./ Reprise Records) - Dreamy, indie-pop band Eisley are back and hitting the road with a series of special, acoustic performances in support of their upcoming album "Combinations," which will be released by Reprise Records in September. The stripped-down setting is the perfect way to fully experience the DuPree family's signature harmonies and hauntingly beautiful lyrics. Also, catch Eisley opening for
The Fray beginning July 9th in Nashville, TN, (full tour schedule is below). The powerful follow-up to 2005's "Room Noises," "Combinations" "possesses a decidedly heavier sound and more introspective lyrics," says
Nylon magazine in a feature on Eisley in this month's
Music Issue.
To make the record, the band joined forces with renowned composer and former Oingo Boingo keyboardist Richard Gibbs, who is best known for his work on the movies "
Say Anything" and "Queen of the Damned," and the television series "Battlestar Galactica." Gibbs and the DuPree family - Chauntelle (guitars), Sherri (guitars/vocals), Stacy (keyboards/vocals), Weston (drums), and cousin Garron DuPree - set up shop in Malibu, CA, in Gibbs' studio The Woodshed with noted engineer Csaba "Chubba" Petocz, who has worked with Etta James, Elvis Costello, and Metallica.
Eisley, who hail from the Deep Ellum District of Dallas, TX, earned a sensational buzz from two EPs - "Laughing City" and "Marvelous Things" - and the stellar full-length "Room Noises." Their larger-than-life energy led to tours with Coldplay and Taking Back Sunday, as well as slots on Coachella, SXSW, and Austin City Limits, giving them a platform for their own sold-out headlining tour last year.
This acoustic tour is going to be an incredible way for both first-timers and avid fans to experience this memorable band.
