SUMMARY:Eigenface Tour
LOCATION:Vogelmorn Upstairs
DESCRIPTION:Eigenface are heading out on a tour around Aotearoa to celebrat
 e the release of their debut album\, with support from Michaela Tempers. E
 igenface is a New Zealand/New York trio that blend folk intimacy\, dream-p
 unk atmospheres and electronic experimentation. Their songs move between c
 omfort and unease\, pairing bright melodies with dissonance\, layered voca
 l harmonies and richly textured arrangements. "Eigenface have developed a 
 softly charming style that finds beauty in uncertainty. Their sound finds 
 comparison with US indie rock acts Loma and Son Lux (both also trios)\, bu
 t for many the apparent connection will be to the stellar likes of Radiohe
 ad and Portishead." (Richard Thorne\, NZ Musician). "It's the type of thin
 g you can listen to over and over again" (Chi-Chi Attard\, Happy Mag - Aus
 tralia). "Dynamic\, intriguing and addictive: it pulls you in and refuses 
 to let go" (Oliver Zurita of Expansión Radial - Spain). The band comprise
 s Penelope Esplin (French for Rabbits\, Lake South\, Grawlixes) on synth a
 nd vocals\, Elliot Vaughan (CNZ/NZSM Composer in Residence 2024\, Moth Qua
 rtet\, RNZ Concert Presenter) on bass and vocals\, and Logan Valentine (Mo
 on Lander) on electric guitar and vocals. For these shows\, Penelope and E
 lliot will be travelling as a duo\, bringing Eigenface into a more intimat
 e live setting. The group formed from an impromptu challenge to write and 
 perform on one another's work\, the result became a cohesive set of songs
 \, resulting in Eigenface's self-titled debut album. Released on Home Alon
 e Records\, Eigenface arrives on October 2\, 2026. Recorded and mixed by V
 aughan and mastered by Harris Newman (Wolf Parade\, Buck Meek\, Godspeed Y
 ou! Black Emperor)\, the album features Vaughan's lush string arrangements
  throughout. Across its songs\, the band explores memory\, place\, relatio
 nships and the tension between beauty and discomfort through expansive arr
 angements\, electronic textures and intimate storytelling. Eigenface’s d
 ebut single\, House by the Sea\, reached #1 on RDU (Christchurch)\, #4 on 
 Radio1 (Dunedin) and #2 on the Student Radio Network Charts. Eigenface hav
 e appeared at Day in the Bay\, The Performance Arcade and Newtown Festival
 \, and shared stages with Lake South\, Julian Temple and Birdfeeder. Micha
 ela Tempers is a writer and musician based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara\, Aotear
 oa. Tempers singing voice has been described as “a rare warbling instrum
 ent that will leave you grasping for comparisons” (Tony Stamp\, RNZ). 
 “Her voice and musical vision establish her as a striking new presence i
 n our ever growing and evolving folk music landscape – honest\, rich\, i
 nsightful.” (Tim Gruar\, Muzic.NZ). Tempers’ debut EP\, recorded along
 side producers Brooke Singer (French for Rabbits) and Chris Armour (Miles 
 Calder\, Louis TM )\, is brimming with “sincerity leavened by wit and un
 iquely dynamic constructs” (Richard Thorne\, NZ Musician). Tempers will 
 be joined by Dayle Jellyman (organ) for the North Island shows\, and Chris
  Armour (guitar) for the Wellington show. She has opened for Creedence Cle
 arwater Revival\, Holly Arrowsmith\, Jed Parsons\, Irish folk band Boega\,
  as well as Australian folk artists Boy & Bear. Eigenface Album Release To
