i know people don't like comparing one band to another, butttt...

does anyone else think that eisley's lyrics are similar to jeff mangum's (neutral milk hotel) or colin meloy's (the decemberists.)
not so much the content, but the style. their diction, word choice.
it hit me today when i was reading the words to lady of the wood.

"oh, a pretty broken wrist was clutched under her fist. her ankles were all wound about a silver gown."

i mean, come on. not many other people write like that.
i don't want to take away from their originality because
they are extremely original.
i just thought it was cool.
or something.

xoxo conor

I think Sigur Ros and Eisley have a similar sound, obviously not lyrics, though.
