Synopsis

Product Description
Uniquely blending a retro-1970s vibe with indie electronica, New York native/Berlin expat Anton Sword's debut artfully manages to suggest Roxy Music, Eno, Burt Bacharach, cocktail jazz, and chamber-pop all at once. The CD's luscious, dreamy melodies stick in one's mind, seductively re-appearing at unexpected moments. This lovely CD invites many delicious repeat encounters and soon becomes pleasantly addictive.

Played by some of NYC's finest unknowns and semi-knowns, the instrumental lineup includes the usual bass, drums, guitars, vocal, and piano, augmented by electric pianos, organ, strings, and some very cool synth textures.

More Anton Sword!!!!

"I discovered Anton Sword on [...] and our household just can't get enough of him. We play the album incessantly. His sound reminds me of the Smiths, but much more contemporary and uplifting . . . perhaps a little Beck thrown in there as well. It's hard to compare him to anyone because his music is so wonderful and unique. The instrumentals are extremely precise and beautiful, particularly the drums and piano. We love every song on the album and really hope that Anton will produce more. Some of the best music we've heard!"
