The Oxhorn Music Mix

You listen to the buzz of the radio at work, killing those incessant florescent mid-day hours; another minute; another song; a never-ending string of tasks. And out of this muted vista, Proof side-swipes you.

“hey, could you stand another drink?
i’m better when I don’t think,
seems to get me through”

The voice of John Bramwell, lead singer of I Am Kloot, wells up from the speakers, suggests raw meat: vivid, unprotected, soft and a little bloodied. His words, dark and true, illuminate the shadowless corners of your office, dancing between good and evil. Numbness in alcohol, useless small talk, dead-end romance, the words float over a brittle shuffle and sublimate into the background again.

Sounds like the love child of: Oasis and Dylan Thomas
