Eisley, 'Combinations' (Reprise)
Remember the '70s? Neither do they, but that doesn't stop 'em.

What's a young band to do when their much-hyped, long-incubated first album fails to connect with the masses? Â For Eisley, a wholesome group of siblings from suburban Texas, the answer is to borrow liberally from the classic-rock geezers who called it quits before they were born. Â Throughout <I>Combinations</I>, the DuPree sisters augment the slow-moving indie pop of their 2005 debut full-length with dramatic prog-guitar lines and shades of Fleetwood Mac's warm soft-rock glow. Â The vintage makeover suits them well, though, especially bewitching vocalists Stacy and Sherri, who have long seemed ready to twirl down Stevie Nicks' ethereal trail.
