I write about music. Covering sonic treats since 2004. Excellent taste. O, and I run a rather good website about John Cale.

Lyrically "Easy Now" is a plea to relax a bit, but for the music there are no boundaries as they bounce through electronic pop, a bit of dance, and shards of trip-hop and rock, with the vocals buried in the mix.

Yes, that's from first line of George Orwell's dystopian novel. The music is draped in ominous darkness, taking it slow to lure the listener into a vortex filled with swirling guitars, gnarly shimmering keyboards, and dense percussion.

The carefully created textures provide a comfortable backing for their songs about feeling lonely and disconnected, although the latter sentiment is embraced as a badge of honour.

She shows strength, but is not afraid to share her doubts and vulnerability as well. At Home In My Mind is about finding peace, but being aware that things can go South again when it is least expected.

He is adamant about finding the switch to turn on the light and lift the darkness. Naive? Maybe, but trying to find solace through beauty and music has not hurt anyone and it keeps him sane in the process.

When Dutch-Swiss composer Ella van der Woude got the job to write the music for Charlie Kaufman's short movie How to Shoot a Ghost, he told her that she should not hold back and write music that is not content with purring gently in the background.

He has a knack for creating soundscapes that are wrapped in neo-classical textures, some of them quite abstract (Weightless), but also going into Depeche Mode meets Mogwai (One Fleeting Glance).

He is a crooner in the guise of a rocker, or vice versa. Either way, this a song that mixes Roxy Music with Rufus Wainwright, which should not work, but it does.
