It's a bit of an odd fit for Eisley, whose fairy tale indie pop will be at odds with the label's mostly emo roster, but, after a disappointing eight-year run with Warner Bros. + Reprise Records, during which the band released two full-length records and seven EPs, the band appears mostly happy just to be out of the major label rigmarole.

"When Equal Vision Records came and approached us, they came down to Tyler to hang out with us, which is amazing," singer and guitarist Sherri DuPree-Bemis tells DC9 over the phone from Eisley's tour bus. "And that was different. I mean, no one from Warner Bros. ever came down to hang out with us, get to know us, and talk about the record with us."

But, she says, the label begged them to stay and promised them that they would get more attention on a new deal with Sire Records, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers. So the band agreed to stay on, and began recording their third record. When it was complete, though, the disc's reception at Sire Records was more than disappointing.

"They didn't get it," says DuPree-Bemis. "[Our A&R guy] told us 'I don't think this label's going to work for you like you need. If you guys want to get off the label, I think you should.'"

But the label wouldn't let them have the songs recorded for that effort.

"We lost another year, basically, just waiting, and trying, and fighting to get the record from them," DuPree-Bemis says. "We finally got on good terms. We finally got the record, and we're going to put it out on Equal Vision Records."

As for the new record's name?

"It might be called The Valley after one of the songs," says DuPree-Bemis. "It seems to fit the theme of the record--what we've been through as a band."
