“A short-and-sweet four-song offering, Eigen specializes in heartfelt, bare-bones compositions that are lyrically driven. These songs are stuffed with clever verbiage that conjures razor-sharp imagery, leaving you feeling breathless and dewy-eyed. There’s no disguising anything here and that approach feels intentional – these songs are stripped-down to mostly acoustic guitar and Eigen’s winsome vocal character.”
“The debut EP by Bee Eigen, Sanguine, is the kind of release that sneaks up on you. It doesn’t grab your attention with loud fanfare or stadium-filling choruses. Instead, it gently knocks on the door, invites itself in, and before you know it, you’re sitting in the quiet aftertaste of something deeply personal.”
“...Trust me when I say there’s something special here. The heartfelt lyrical delivery and phrasing from Eigen really set the track apart from the crowd. Every line feels purposeful, balancing message and that tactile sense of words that fit together aesthetically.”
