NOLAN, PETE - Easy

"Having criss-crossed the globe with the open-ended experimentation of his groups Magik Markers and Spectre Folk, PETE NOLAN's DEBUT LONG PLAYER "Easy" arrives as his most expansive and honed set of songs to date. With a central hypnotic backbeat suffusing layers of lived-in sounds and singing the harmony of their unexpected alignment, EASY evokes the late night haze of Swell Maps and the pop swirl of Psychic TV, as it swaggers thru thick internal dream worlds of hazy vibrations. Orchestral flourishes support new depths to his arrangements, gently lifting them off to subtle emotional heights. If youre looking for an outsider magnum-opus to start your year, this is the record.- Arbitrary Signs.
