Based in Portland, Oregon, the three-piece indie rock band Eaglekin released their debut album earlier this week. The band members, Gabe Blair, Joe Ryckebosche, and Eric Vivian, have previously been in other bands such as The Rum Diary and The Pages.

Eaglekin band members clearly write strange material for their songs, though it’s hard to focus on through the musical layers. According to the label’s website, the album consists of 2 songs about a dead cat, a song about a colony of humans living on the moon, a song about explosions, a song about the lives of trees, a song about the reincarnation of human beings, and the shadowy confines of the soul.

Although the band literally released the record three days ago, they are already in the process of writing a new album-worth of songs for their next album, which is anticipated for release in the summer or fall of this year. Eaglekin is also planning to go on a West Coast tour and perhaps in other regions as well later this year.

Clearly Eaglekin is working hard to save the Plebelands. To read up on the Plebelands and what that’s all about, visit their website.
