Last decade it was Eisley’s debut album, Room Noises, that was near-perfect indie pop. This decade it’s Eisley again. This time it I’m Only Dreaming that stands as near-flawless indie pop. If you’ve never heard Eisley, just know that Eisley do one thing well, but they do it ridiculously well. That one thing is lush, chill, indie pop that features some of the most infectious melodies and gorgeous harmonized vocals I’ve ever heard. Any attempt by Eisley to do anything different has inevitably led to an inferior product. This was nowhere more apparent than on their previous release, Currents. Fortunately, the band realized this too because they have gone back to the chill, melody-drenched, sound of their first two releases and it’s a welcome return. One of my favorite indie pop albums ever, not just this particular decade.
