  • Summary: Definitely not your typical Chicago band, this trio of former Trenchmouth members Damon Locks and Wayne Montana and Vandermark 5 drummer Tim Mulvenna injects funk, ska, and hip-hop elements into the usual post-rock mix on this debut full-length.

    The overall air of the album would probably be more new-wave influenced trip-hop but Lock's sure and steady raga forges Rawar to a more funky-dub feel.

    The Eternals are the exact opposite of easy listening. Instead, they're on edge and on the verge of explosion, ticking bombs of oddity and power.

    An acquired taste. [Sep 2004, p.124]
