Forget Hilary Duff: this youthful small-town Texas quintet of polite, pretty Christian siblings (and one best buddy) should have performed at W.'s reinauguration. The slo-mo pop songs on Eisley's full-length debut were written around the angelic voices of Sherri and Stacy DuPree, which intertwine in melancholy harmonies that grow more cloying as Room Noises passes. Outfitted with soft piano and sparkling guitars, "Marvelous Things" and "Lost at Sea" conjure a teenage neverland where everyone is sad and beautiful, and punk never existed. Elsewhere, "Brightly Wound" and "One Day I Slowly Floated Away" make prominent use of the verb "shall." Room Noises has some encouraging, lovely moments, but Eisley have yet to prove that they're anything more than a killer talent-show entry.
