"Tú que iluminas....mi corazón"
Hogar by El Paso, Texas based EEP is a big vast charging post punk track with shoegazey tendencies and forays into psychedelic dream pop. Turn it up and you will get lost in the absolutely ethereal fray. Guitarist / vocalist Rosie Varela's vox cuts beautifully through the dense musical fog. The overall soundscape steeped in an almost Phil Spector wall of sound, layers of guitars courtesy of Varela, Ross Ingram (also recording / producing) and Serge Carrasco, big bottom droning bass by Sebastian Estrada (who lends synth too) and heavy, heavy drumming by Lawrence Brown III did make me flash on some of Blondie's early work (like Union City Blue) as well as My Bloody Valentine. All five band members contribute vox as well.
EEP is dropping a full length album “Death of A Very Good Machine" on July 24, (2020).

Formed in El Paso, Texas in January 2019, EEP is an eclectic shoegaze band that got its start when Rosie Varela approached Ross Ingram, who owns Brainville Studios in Sunland Park, New Mexico. She asked him if he would help her record a song she had written called “Hogar.” The pair hit it off as they worked together on a few other songs she already had.
As time went on, Varela invited some other local musician friends to join in and what started out as one song eventually evolved into an eight-song album entitled “Death of A Very Good Machine" (to be released on July 24, 2020). Guitarist/vocalist Varela brings a wide range of influences to her writing including blues, classic rock, 60s psychedelic as well as dream pop and shoegaze.
Ingram plays guitar as well as doing the tasks of recording and producing. Sebastian Estrada plays bass and synth, and he also helped Ingram with engineering as did Varela. Serge Carrasco plays guitar and Lawrence Brown III plays drums. All five members contribute vocals.
