Eigenface’s latest release, “Slow Exposure” is not just a collection of dreamy photographs, but a reflection on photography itself and the power images have over the way we understand the past. Written by bassist and vocalist Elliot Vaughan, the song asks if photographs can really provide proof, memory or truth. Its playful, propulsive lyricism ranges thru portraiture, perception and the tension between objectivity and interpretation.
The line is especially rich in the phrase, “Oo the picture, Another picture's been handed me / But I wasn't there to see. “Slow Exposure” turns a common photograph into a more profound contemplation on memory and perception. Indeed, what is most interesting about the song is its focus on images, which creates a compelling conceptual center, and its energetic lyrical flow, which makes the exploration fun and engaging.
