Styrofoam - Nothing's lost

Stryofoam is the moniker for a one man electronic project who has been making music since before 2000. Nothing's lost has a number of collaborations including Ben Gibbard from Death Cab for Cutie.

The cd drifts along nicely with a gentle mix of electronica and pop. I couldn't fully engage with a lot of the music but there were a few songs which worked better than others. Standout songs for me were 'Couches in Alleys' - the Ben Gibbard collaboration and the last song on the cd 'make it mine' which is the longest track at 9+ minutes which unfolds quite nicely.

I'm curious what Styrofoam might sound like live as I think it could work quite well in that setting so will probably check them out at the ATP festival in May.
