7th studio album by Kashmir. The album's title is apparently an abbreviation for 'Eternally Amplified Restlessness' [!] - whatever that is supposed to suggest! The album marks a(nother) new change of style into more bold dream pop music. It also introduces sampling taken from electronic styles. There's a quiet and ambient feel to several songs as heard on chamber pop, art pop releases, making me think of Teitur ("Piece of the Sun") and / or Efterklang, Agnes Obel, or Sigur Rós. As usual, when Kashmir incorporates new styles and genres in its music, it hardly ever sounds original, and neither does this. This is yet another mediocre release from Kashmir.
