“Eleanor showcas[es] sweet, melodic tunes that expose the band’s well-honed songwriting. They sport a sound that recalls a little Death Cab and Radiohead as well as a some Peter Frampton, fresh from the early ‘70s, all wrapped in a Flaming Lips spirit. Frontman Ryan Brasher is a charismatic singer, backed up by three other members and joined by two backup singers. Their sound was full and cathartic, while remaining light.” -The Denver Post - The Denver Post
Building from a strong foundation of charming, understated chamber folk underscored by glitchy rhythms, Eleanor has crafted the soundtrack of urban daydreams and reflections. -The Westword

"....earnest dude taking lead vocals with piano and guitar and ukulele, playing the soundtrack to awkward love's first movements and, just as readily, the quiet stages of post-relationship grief. It's all incredibly theatrical, wailing vowels .... it's also really awesome" The Westword - The Westword
“I can't think of the last time I listened to an EP with that much range! Really three very different and great songs.”

"Eleanor is the scratch to your musical itch...." Dave Preston - Colorado Music Buzz

Bio
Eleanor pulls the listener into close emotional orbit with metallic drumbeats and melting violin chords. Eleanor's music is experimental yet grounded, blending an original sound with cohesive, accessible melodies, and well-honed songwriting. Arresting and stirring harmonies reflect that behind every toe-tapping note, there is an artist exploring his and our own imperfect humanity.
Eleanor “build[s] from a strong foundation of charming, understated chamber folk underscored by glitchy rhythms; Eleanor has crafted the soundtrack of urban daydreams and reflections.” according to Dave Herrera of Denver's The Westword magazine.
