EP Review: Eli Keszler - Empire

A relaxing, yet isolating respite.

Imagine yourself in a different plane of state, perhaps a forest or a cave, both are doused in water. Imagine yourself passing by, then you hear sets of noises, the alluring celestas, the throbbing drums, playing in a simple yet harmonic, catchy tune. It lures you in into something magnificent, however once you get enthralled and tranced by it's beauty, you end up in something isolating, oddly eerie, where the beauty has lured you into it's trap, a trap that you will never can't get out of.

And that is how I will describe this album as a whole. Beautiful and serene, yet something feels a bit odd within this respite, like it's intended to lure you in and never letting go of that serenity that is showed in this EP, even if it is short and simplistic, but it still works well.

Favorite tracks: All of them.
