Sometimes dark, sometimes light, but always compelling, Eyestrings creates music that is as emotionally charged as it is complex. Live performances have earned everything from wild hoots to attentive quiet, in following with the dynamic range of the band's music. The debut album by Eyestrings, "Burdened Hands" is a fine representation of this range. With songs varying widely in mood, sound, theme, arrangement, and duration, but still quite cohesive as an album, "Burdened Hands" offers plenty to be appreciated by music lovers. The diversely-influenced songs are often complex in form but also ripe with memorable melodies--as is common with progressive music, they make take several listens to get into your secret place--and lyrics that can be poetically subtle ("Recovery"), cleverly silly ("Just a Body"), or wickedly blunt ("Time Will Tell"). Eyestrings takes the listener on a journey that is often challenging, and definitely rewarding.
