The Bethany Curve is a Californian band formed in 1994. They have 5 albums to their name and this mini-album of 6 tracks from 2004. Flaxen is a small-great (small because it's brief, great because it's immensely beautiful) masterpiece because the sound transports you to its own world. The absolute highlights are three tracks: "Automatic," "Jettison," and the masterpiece "Sleep." In Italy, this band seems almost unknown. There isn't much information available, despite the web. The music is rich with "dreamy" atmospheres, featuring "Pink Floyd" guitars in the background and echoes of sounds that let dreams step into reality. I highly recommend listening to "Flaxen," and if the words spoken seem few, it's because the emotions are truly overwhelming!
