It\u2019s beautiful and emotionally impacting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eons<\/i> is a moody melodic flow from start to finish that features melancholy vocals that are beautifully crafted. This band is known as being a prominent component of modest Mouse\u2019s Isaac Brock\u2019s label. They have a simple ambience that is beautiful and captivating. There are strong folk and indie rock foundations that have the added components of distortion and electronically produced sounds. All of the songs on this album have a wonderful flow that create a continuous story with the appropriate rises and falls that all stories should have, though risk being a bit repetitive at times.<\/p>\n

The first track, appropriately titled \u201cMemorabilia,\u201d seeps with feelings of nostalgia and deep aching. Now this may sound like a downer, but is not at all. It\u2019s beautiful and emotionally impacting. Also, the steady beat and swelling guitar chords keep the pace from reaching a subdued lull. The next track, \u201cActing Your Age\u201d has poetic lyrics and a melodic acoustic guitar component. \u201cOwl Hoots\u201d is where the album takes a slight turn with strong percussion that takes the lead rather than the strong guitar parts that most of the other songs focus on. While some of the songs don\u2019t seem to differ much from the last, there is still unique elements throughout that keep it at least somewhat interesting. The best vocals on this album are found on \u201cBloodlines\u201d and \u201cNight Light\u201d. The resolution at the end of this story is aptly named \u201cMoving On,\u201d which is great closure to this story of love and pasts and beyond. While this band may not be able to catch the attention of a crowded room, their musicality catches the attention of those with a keen musical ear\u2013like Isaac Brock. This album definitely deserves a play on the radio.<\/p>\n
