"International sounds homogenize through twisted, dirty avenues, where the high-rolling boom-box dub kings cruise tropical boulevards, tops down, stereos ablaze at twilight, while the jazzy ladies line up. The Chicago trio's strange rawer style stretches the sonic palette like Reed Richard's (Fantastic Four), whose creator Jack Kirby, plays influence to vocalist Damon Lock's intricately woven album covers depicting dark, rugged city-scapes. The group's third album ups the ante with all chips on the table. Diving deeper into uncharted waters, the musical monsoon continues to saturate the players' diverse sounds into their own unique vision. The new 'Chicago calling' is here, pulsating through the windy city's turbulence."

"This new EP tides fans over until the release of their upcoming 3rd album (September.2006) and features remixes from Prefuse 73 & A Grape Dope (Johnny of Tortoise's solo project) as well as from Birthmark, Exercise Tiger & The Eternals themselves. This release continues to showcase the group's various musical influences and politicized energy, however these sounds have now homogenized even further in the mix eventually transforming into an altogether NEW sound."

"Rawar Style is more aggressive & direct than past Eternals offerings. A strong urban feeling is present throughout the record with their tracks rushing past you as if you were standing in the median of a large city street. The sounds of sirens, radios and partial conversations, take their place as portions of a sonic landscape. This music exists as a result of the environments it grew up in. Raised near the projects of punk & hip hop, but edged out at the onset of gentrification, the music doesn't call either neighborhood home. It is easy to imagine that dancehall, Tropicalia, improvised experimental music and electronic music live as tenants in the same building as the music made by The Eternals. The collective musical community provides the inspiration for the rhythms and tones found on the record. The social and political climate inspires the timbre. Rawar Style has a politicized energy that living in a big city in America can give you."
