An amazing and striking debut that is filled with layers of soothing and moving vocals and musical prowess that takes bands like The Pernice Brothers, John Cunningham and Grant Lee Buffalo as contemporaries but there`s a strange kind of familiarity to all the proceedings that is just hard to pin down: Easterly are their band, thankfully. Clearly, though, the sound is crisp, lush and ever-flowing streams of stellar guitar work make Easterly a truly gripping and long-memorably revealing debut. There are perfectly matching smart harmonies and pop hooks to outstanding acoustic and electric
guitar layers, the brilliance on this release casts no shadows. Lead singer and songwriter Noah Hall is writer for the ages and mark our words, you`ll be hearing a lot from him in the coming years. We`ll be heralding the triumphs of this sweetly arranged, smoothly harmonized and accomplished display of what song-craft should be about. "Ok, so maybe this isnt going to be one of the most inventive album youre going to lay ears upon this year. So why is Easterly worth plopping down your hard earned Benjamins? Despite his linear approach, Easterlys Noah Hall is a power-pop troubadour in the tradition of Ken Stringfellow and Teenage Fanclubs Norman Blake, dispensing agile three-minute slices of sweet guitar-laden bliss. Hall is ever the pop classicist."-Big Takeover
Easterly utilizes a pulse-stopping and achingly beautiful richness to their recording process as each song shimmers and shine redolent with freshly minted lustrous vocals that are the hallmark of Easterly`s special spirit.
