Eisley’s new piece of work, “The Valley,” is its sixth album in which it not only continues with its rock roots, but lead singers Stacy and Sherri DuPree incorporate some new found vocals they have perfected in the past three years.
Some songs trail hints of the style that modern-folk musicians Regina Spektor, Sara Bareilles, Rilo Kiley and A Fine Frenzy pop into their own tunes, giving Eisley a unique, singer-songwriter flare.
Title track, “The Valley,” is a beautiful welcome to the album’s randomness in style, track-by-track. Anybody who has followed this band since their heyday at the Plano Centre and the Third String Production era can feel their revisit to it with “Smarter.”
But just through that song, it’s as if they’ve told themselves that they enjoy maturing in the direction they are, and continued back on their road with the talented, piano-souled girl posse.
With vocals from the heart and serious collaborations between the sisters, it might make it a good thing for the sisters to always work together.
Every song has masterful refrains and undercover climbs that elevate just as the lyrics do, equaling an unexpected combination—making this album extra cool.
