Eilish Gilligan is a producer, singer and songwriter from Melbourne. She hasn't been releasing music under her own name for long - you might know her better as the magnetic frontperson in Frida, or from touring as a vocalist in Japanese Wallpaper's band - but in her eighteen months as a solo artist Eilish has achieved an incredible amount.
In 2016 alone Eilish received airplay across Triple J, Double J and Unearthed, and supported local upstarts Alex Lahey and Confidence Man. Her warm, spectral pop music has earned well-deserved praise from Triple J's Zan Rowe and Dom Alessio, as well as a feature on the Band Camp homepage.
There is an athleticism to Eilish's performance - you can tell there's a craft there, a certain training and sense of discipline thats hard to cultivate without years of work. there is a power in her vocals, but restraint, too; She knows that an emotional gutting is done better with a whisper than a yell. Her masterful sense of control brings to mind Bat For Lashes & Kate Bush - Like both those iconic pop auteurs, Eilish . has a keen sense of how deeply devastating a lone voice and some synths can be.
