The music’s folk-driven sound, mixed with its introspective lyrics, showcases Eames’ means to the touch on deeply private themes in his songwriting. Harking back to the hauntingly poetic model of Nick Cave and the country attraction of Iron & Wine, Eames blends the soulful depths of blues with the melodic fantastic thing about indie folks.

From the guts of Cardiff, Eames has electrified venues like Camden’s blues bars, and with “Black on the Different Facet,” he declares himself as a compelling storyteller. This monitor is a standout preview of his upcoming EP EDGES, promising an evocative and gritty exploration of human expertise.
