THE ETERNALS last album “Rawar Style” was released in May of 2003 and since then the group has been very active, touring Europe, Brazil, the U.S. (with Tortoise & Beans) and Japan (twice!), as well as performing in London at the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival for the second time. The group has also been featured on NPR (U.S. national radio) twice, interviewed for Italy’s national radio RAI Radio 3 and recognized in the press globally in as far reaching places as Russia, Chile & Australia.
In addition to this, Damon Locks, the group’s vocalist & keyboard player has been busy creatively. His artwork has been featured in such places as: Flaunt (U.S. – full page color in 2 issues, latest featuring Broken Social Scene), XLR8R (U.S. - full page color), Rockpile (U.S. - 1/4 page color), After Hours (Japan - multiple page feature) as well as on releases for: Sickroom Records (U.S.), Star (Japan) & GSL Records (U.S.). The group’s last album even appeared in a top 10 in Artforum magazine (U.S.)!
This new EP tides fans over until the release of their upcoming 3rd album (September.2006) and features remixes from Prefuse 73 & A Grape Dope (Johnny of Tortoise’s solo project) as well as from Birthmark, Exercise Tiger & The Eternals themselves. This release continues to showcase the group’s various musical influences and politicized energy, however these sounds have now homogenized even further in the mix eventually transforming into an altogether NEW sound.

...Wywodzące się z Chicago trio wpuszcza nieco świeżego powietrza na nieco zatęchłą już tamtejszą scenę. Damon Locks, Wayne Montana i Tim Mulvenna kontynuują tradycje chicagowskiego grania w najlepszym tego słowa znaczeniu. Ich muzyka to jakby upopowione i bardziej zelektronizowane wczesne Tortoise: transowy puls, nowofalowy nerw i lekki popowy vibe. To wszystko znajdziemy na "High Anxiety", które stanowi wprawdzie tylko minilongplay (6 remiksów i zaledwie 2 premierowe nagrania), ale cieszy.
