We are listening to ‘Faded Memory’ as we write this article – and to no surprise, the track is actually really good! Eclectic and fairly complex, the record follows Italian outfit EEF in their journey towards global recognition. Their formula is certainly leftfield and eclectic, yet still relatable and expressive. Imagine a blend of King Crimson-esque guitar action with alt-rock drums and catchy, poppy vocals; add to it the occasional incursion of a saxophone, and you get an original sonic concoction moving towards prog and math territories.
‘Faded Memory’ functions as the lead single for ‘What eef?’, EEF’s latest album. In it, prospective listeners will get a deeper glimpse into the Italian band’s artistry. Take for instance the record’s opening number, ‘Rising Up’: melancholic and poignant, the track blends luscious, malleable Italian-pop melodies with a surprising incursion into modern jazz; perhaps confusing to some, but also incredibly refreshing and revealing.
Innovators: that’s how we would define EEF. In an industry landscape where copycats and proven formulas seem to dominate, it’s good to know dreamers are still here – one just has to look closer.
