a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Suzy Mangion and Michael Varty make up George. Mangion's also sung with
Arbol and Piano Magic. The band's sound is gorgeous and the use of odd
instruments helps.
"The Living Sound" is reminiscent of This Mortal Coil, the flagship band of
4AD. Mangion's whispery vocal and Varty's harmonies work well together.
"Now
You want to settle down" is a haunted lullaby. Like most of the songs here
it moves slowly but surely towards the listener.
"Sunday Painter" sounds
curiously antiquated. The old-fashioned feel is charmingly executed though.
It's a thirties style music hall song.
George is clearly a band that's good
for these stressful times. Their magic lies in their ability to create a
soundworld of their own.
