Combinations is probably one of our favorite CDs of all time. It's hard to believe it came out over a year ago, it still sounds so amazing it's like new. This marks a good amount of growth from Room Noises with more layering, more complexity on a musical level, and more developed voices for Sherri and Stacy (the lead singers). However Eisley still manages to capture a kind of innocence and whimsy that is unique to them, and gives them their distinct vibe. Eisley's lyrics occupy a world completely their own. Each song alone is good to listen to, but when taken as a whole it becomes even better.
Highlights:
Come Clean: This song is one of the most original out at the moment. It has a sense of freshness and is extremely genuine. It has a slightly more pop feel to it but it still incorporates the indie sound that Eisley uses for the majority of their music.
A Sight to Behold: The drums are amazing!! This song is more driven than the majority of Eisley songs, but the slight edge that it has gives it more depth than many of the other songs. The contrast between Eisley's hopeful lyrics and the intensity of the music gives this song a tension that makes it endlessly listenable. Obi Wan's personal favorite.
Combinations: Cutest song ever. The beginning is wonderful and takes the song from a traditional romantic song to something with a different tone. It is far more adorable than the traditional love song, because it isn't overly sweet yet still manages to capture the feeling of the lyrics in the music.
