Eigenface
Eigenface are a brand new ambient post pop band out of Wellington, using ornaments of folk inside a dream-punk catalogue, featuring band members Penelope Esplin (French for Rabbits, Lake South, Grawlixes), Elliot Vaughan (CNZ/NZSM 2024 Composer in Residence, Moth Quartet) and Logan Valentine (Moon Lander). Eigenface stack vocals and contribute varying songwriting styles to create something uniquely creepy-cute.
Formed at Logan’s wedding, after various guests formed the wedding band, including best man Elliot and Penelope. Realising their musical talents blended very well, they decided to form a band, which each individual contributing their own songs, and the remaining members adding parts to create a whole.
Eigenface will perform their eclectic arrangements, taking influence from bands such as Sylvan Esso, Portishead and Son Lux.
"Eigenface are a quirky upcoming act worth listening to, their sound both weird, wonderful and unmistakably Wellington."
