Coming out of the forests of Roanoke, VA, where the mountain vistas are inspiring but the scene is mostly cover bands, both members of the duo Eternal Summers are a part of the Magic Twig Community, a collective of nine like-minded musicians that cherish boundless creativity and weirdo indie pop.
When Yun hooked up with Cundiff, they immediately knew they had the right musical chemistry, and what resulted was something very, very punk. When they call it dream punk, they’re only partially joking. Taut, hooky and often wide-open, their sound is simple but it takes up room. They employ the quietest quiets and the loudest louds—from hazy, clanging reveries to rapid No Wave squalls calling to mind early indie legends like the Raincoats, Galaxie 500, Beat Happening, and Unrest.
They’ve received adoring write-ups with the release of their self-titled debut EP, available on 10-inch vinyl: Pitchfork called “Lightswitch” a song“you need to hear now” and posted the “also-awesome” “Fall Straight Back.” The follow up album Silver, which mixes 90-second fist-pumper and dreamy, six-minute meditations, noisy highs and uncomfortably quiet hums, was well received by Nylon, Spin, and Gorilla Vs Bear; their video for "Pogo" (an Elbo.ws hot track) premiered on Pitchfork TV and their "Pogo" remix debuted on Stereogum.
Eternal Summers spent the fall and winter of 2010 touring the east coast and midwest, playing with the likes of Harlem, Dum Dum Girls, Best Coast, Dan Deacon, Beach Fossils, Jenny and Johnny and Wild Nothing to name a few. For 2011, the band has routed dates around the SXSW music festivaland will shortly announce tour dates with the Beets, which will include Eternal Summers first trip to the west coast...
