2009/05/30
Morning. From yesterdays Spotify update, this is really beautiful music by Swedish composer Björn Olsson (he was once a founding member of The Soundtrack Of Our Lives). It’s hard to choose a genre for The Crayfish, but I’ll guess a combination of classical and folk will have to do. Enjoy!
