Eureka Birds, a four-piece (sometimes fiver) band I included in my Memorial Day mix back in May, released a new EP today, titled Eureka! How ’bout that!
The Eureka crew, from Baltimore, has been around since 2006 making sweet, subdued pop, with a self-titled debut album and now the Eureka! EP under their name. Frontman Justin Levy, who often tours solo as “Eureka Bird” (see dates after the jump), employs a delicate falsetto above the wistful tunes, which were crisply produced by Tyler Watkins of The Margot & The Nuclear So and So’s. Swift cello strokes play a vital role on the piano-led songs, heightening the dreamy affect.
It’s an EP to turn to as the leaves fall, your life transitions, and your once blurry vision becomes ever so clear.
