Two guys: Marco Benevento and Joe Russo two instruments: keys and drums. huge sound - a kaleidascopically exploding wall of sound built on jazz, rock, beats and life. their ropeadope debut, "best reason to buy the sun", was produced in L.A. by Joey Waronker (beck, r.e.m.) giving the instrumental duo an all new partner (the recording studio) and an incredibly refined sound. you will be so very very happy to own this record, the love it brings is just not fair.
