East of Eli is the stunning musical project from singer/songwriter Nathan West. Blending cinematic folk, pop melodies and modern electronic sound, East of Eli has been garnering both critical and popular acclaim since its formation in 2014. To date, East of Eli has released two singles off its upcoming album Lost Transmission.
On Feb. 14, 2017, East of Eli dropped its first single entitled, “Nowhere,” a love letter to West’s wife Chyler Leigh (“Supergirl,” “Grey’s Anatomy”), who makes her singing debut on the track, providing angelic harmonies throughout. The arrangement proves stunning, highlighting catchy melodies, soaring guitars, and deep synths, a reminder of their devotion to one another despite the challenges that come with both having careers in entertainment. The song debuted on People.com and spread worldwide.
East of Eli’s second single “Child’s Play” received commercial success, debuting on the iTunes Top 25 Dance Chart, the song detailing feelings of falling in love for the first time. It also features Leigh on back vocals. The electro pop anthem is an emotional coming of age story with West brilliantly detailing the confusion, excitement, and anticipation of first love. West confides “the reason behind the song was to help my son navigate the next five years of his life as he winces ever closer to the ‘coming of age’ years in his life. I felt sharing my experience would give him a much needed insight and perspective on what he may expect and let him know he has someone on his side that can relate to on his own journey.”
“Nowhere” and “Child’s Play” are off of East of Eli’s upcoming release Lost Transmission. Lost Transmission thematically draws its influence from all the transmissions sent to outer space in hopes of connecting with other intelligent life. It’s symbolic in nature of releasing a new album or song. The title track, “Lost Transmission” was written for West’s son Noah who is diagnosed with ADHD and autism. The song is an anthem intended to capture his son’s undivided attention to break through to the truth and beauty of who his son is becoming in spite of his own day-to-day struggles. The new album is the evolution of that journey, with songs dedicated to all three of his children, his wife, and himself.
East of Eli has received critical acclaim with American Songwriter Magazine noting West as an artist on the rise as well as being featured in such high-profile outlets as People Magazine, Hollywood Life, New York Post, Hallmark Channel’s “Home and Family,” and more. East of Eli has also found success selling out top venues in the U.S. including Los Angeles’s Troubadour and New York’s Knitting Factory as well as headlining a sold out European tour in such cities as Paris, London, Berlin, Zurich, and more including a special performance at Liverpool’s famed Cavern Club where they received their ceremonial brick and future residency.
