Emerging as a compelling new voice in shoegaze, The First Eloi continue to carve out their place in the genre with In Sepia, a single that further solidifies their identity as a group. Rather than relying on sheer volume or distortion, the track leans into a more spacious, deliberate moodiness, allowing every shimmering guitar line and melodic element to breathe and bloom.
In Sepia feels like the epitome of a reverie, being all intimate, textured, and quietly expansive. It’s a confident step from a band that’s steadily building momentum, offering another reason to pay close attention to their evolving sound.
