Gracefully hovering between pop and indie, one could liken Eloise’s debut record “Semantics” to a delightful ménage à trois, of catchy melodies, agile observations and the young band’s growing sonic curiosity. With their independent spirit and a little help from friends, such as the talented engineering mastermind Valente Torrez (Elliott Smith), Eloise took to recording, producing and releasing their debut album on their own. The result was a positively dynamic record with a strong pop sensibility and an indie attitude.

The Album
For May Ann Pescante, Michelle Torrez and Cyrus Butler, it was the culmination of three years of finding the time and money to be in the studio. But because so much time had passed since the beginning of the project, the band had found that their songs had completely transformed from what they originally had in mind. "After so much time," May explains, "everything just started to sound so different from what we had originally intended. It felt different, and then it started to mean different things. Semantics is all about meaning and changes in meaning --that title felt appropriate."
