Orwell - Following
Days (AHA!045)
CD $10.00 
This debut album of orchestral pop from French trio Orwell blends current
electronics with pop classicism akin to the most refined pop craftsmen of the
60s and 70s - it even includes a cover the Gilbert O'Sullivan hit "Clair"!!
Fundamentally traditional, yet resolutely modern Orwell play sophisticated pop
with gentle melodies and omnipresent string arrangements influenced by both 60s
orchestral pop and 80s new wave. |
