Haunted Ghost’s Chanson Du Jour: elusive everything edition

E A S Y :: Venice Beach

I love this song. Everything about it just hits me in such a heavy way. But E A S Y is an absolute enigma. Considering the equally anonymous and mysterious Vondelpark collaborated with them on this, I might venture to guess that they’re from the UK, but really, I have no idea. Being the masters of the hidden face - no myspace, no facebook, no google friendly name - it is difficult to really pin these folks down.

But why the anonymity? Because now it’s solely about the music. No silly image, no faces to the sound, just this tight, four minute piece with a building climax like no other. When the tweaked guitars roar in at the end, lifting each note of the song higher and higher, it takes you along. By the end, you’re soaring, hovering about the ground on a song so fine-tuned and simple, yet so deeply involved, you’re left in that weird limbo of wanting more but having enough, of being satisfied and insatiable. Given the lack of info, there’s a general uncertainty as to the future of the project. Will it continue to exist, or was this four minute moment it? There’s no telling, so sit back, enjoy the song on repeat (as I do) and know you’re basically listening to a beautiful ghost.
