The High Wire - Easy

Easy is the perfect name for the second single taken from these Londoners' forthcoming album Ahead of the Rain. The boy/girl harmonies effortlessly glide along the line of loveable cheeriness, never quite crossing over into irrational exuberance. Every instrument from brass and violin to drums and guitar makes its own delicate contribution, constructing a perfect pop song that is so lazy and happy at the same time it becomes overwhelmingly underwhelming and leaves a warm fuzzy feeling inside you every time, all the more satisfying for the ease with which they carry it off.
