Not to get all high-brow on all of you, but yes, BRM's newest client is a composer!?!?! And not just any composer. Philip. Glass. Don't worry we won't be making a habit of this. We'll continue bringing you the latest french electro from Australia (Cut Copy), new bands that sound just like the Beach Boys (Explorers Club), spellbiding hushed folk (Bon Iver), and indie rock from the vaults (Big Dipper).

He's a super approachable all-around "chill" guy - so don't be afraid by the lack of vocals or the fact that he's done everything from Amex ads to award winning soundtracks for movies as diverse as The Hours, The Truman Show, and, um, Candyman (highly underrated, thoroughly scary flick). So yeah, want to wn some awards too? Drop us a line.
