“It’s fitting that the opening phrase of Eternal, Dublin electronic artist Conor Furlong’s self-released debut, should bear the words “Brian Wilson”, for the influence of the troubled son of a Beach is all over Furlong’s sonic hello. That opener, entitled “Love/Like”, is an unashamed tribute to Wilson, both lyrically and musically, as a spacey, classically-inspired synth melody meshes wonderfully with Furlong’s violining vocals. It’s as if Wilson circa 1966 had hijacked a Nobuo Uematsu soundtrack. The result is predictably awesome.
The two tracks that follow, “Your Guy” and “I’m In Love With Girls Aloud”, are similar in style. The latter, while maybe not quite as affectionate, is at least sincere, a rare feat in this age where ironic Justin Timberlake covers are the norm and Rick Astley is a mere internet meme.
Melodically, Eternal is one of the understated pop gems of the year.”
(Dave Donnelly, State Magazine)

“Eternal features a lovely lush collection of electronic ballads and very laid back hazy electronic pop sounds. It’s almost like Air or Lali Puna on a totally laid back late night buzz. Features some delicate electronic beats, washes of synth and electric piano coupled with Furlong’s hushed vocal delivery. Really lovely soothing stuff.” (Dave Kennedy, Road Records)
