A couple of reviews on the London trio Eaux's new ep, 'i', to pique your interest:
"The group's dark-side fixations bring to mind the smoky grandeur of contemporaries like Balam Acab, Beak>, and Zola Jesus, but i never sounds bleak for the sake of being bleak. The sweeping, trance-tinged new wave of "New Peaks" radiates wide-screen optimism, and the cozy "Snow," with its muted Rhodes keyboard, recalls the intimate bedroom pop of Nicolas Jaar." -Spin
"Formed over the course of a few days of improvisation, the EP as a whole is as crystalline and as unique as the archetypal snowflake itself – there are ingenious flourishes of inspiration, melodies so delicate they feel like they’d melt to the touch and a hypothermic sense of warmth in all its frosty open spaces." - Dummy
High, perhaps superlative, praise. See the video for 'New Peaks' after the jump.
