The glossy airport pop songs of London's electronic duo, Grasscut, bloom one by one as the album floats by like a platoon of clouds. Andrew Phillips and Marcus O'Dair, with delicate composure, dance the tightrope between the well-paved paragons of electronica and classical music. In a very European way (with the exception of the occasional noisy drum reprieve) the modern ballads put wind in your hair, composed as if for solitary travel or the self-aware wait time in a train station or airport terminal. Strongly recommended for listeners of B. Fleischmann and buyers of expensive colognes.vueweekly.com comments: powered by Disqus
