Biography

“Brown Shark, Red Lion is the most interesting and challenging pop album I’ve heard so far this year.” - My Old Kentucky Blog

“Eksi Ekso soars, slashes, and burns and chimes again on its sophomore full-length, Brown Shark, Red Lion,’’ - Boston Globe

“…a near-perfect synthesis of the band’s ambitious statement of intent and secret love of pop. Linking up sampled noises, instrumental breaks, and chamber swells, Eksi Ekso takes the every-song-is-a-huge-crescendo mentality of general post-rock and arc-welds it to great verse-chorus-bridge popcraft that belies the band’s youth.” – Consequence of Sound

“Eksi Ekso has caught my eye in delivering one of the most striking albums of the year… the sheer rush of clashing emotions conveyed is one of remarkable awe…” –Obscure Sound

“the local chamber-rocking group is one of the city’s more adventurous indie bands” – The Phoenix (Boston)

“Addition by subtraction” is a cliche often quoted by the unoriginal (as well as the mathematically-impaired) that nonetheless offers a fair assessment of Eksi Ekso— a band that has gone from six to three full-time members and still somehow expanded its sound by refining it.

When writing began for the follow-up to 2008’s I Am Your Bastard Wings, the three current members of Eksi Ekso: Tom Korkidis (vocals, guitar, bass, keys), Alex Mihm (drums, loops, percussion), and Sean Will (keys, synths, trumpet, samples), found themselves increasingly constrained by the inertia of a large band seemingly doomed to stay within its post-rock tendencies. As the three spent more time working together, it became clear they had a very real momentum with myriad ideas that would never survive the democratic process of a six-piece group.

    Scales in Antiquity has a lot of guitar sounds similar to The Burning Paris, On Fire, and Eksi Ekso. They also incorporate effected vocals and electronic drums, as well as keys and strings.

    the new album is amazing, even if it's so different from I Am Your Bastard Wings.
