Buswell as an entity has existed for a few years now, starting as a solo artist and growing the 5-piece act you hold in your hand. The 3 guy/2 gal group use pianos, violins, drums, bass, guitar and voices to make a heady mix of provocative, intense pieces and introspective lullabies. They draw inspiration from folk, drum 'n' bass, indie rock, hip-hop, funk, classical, post-rock, surreal cinema. warm and cold memories, and anything that can be touched and played with.

Confusingly described as "indescribable, but unforgettable," the live show takes in both dancing and crying, and can be described as an open attempt at honesty (which probably explains the schizophrenic genre-hopping of the band). They like to push themselves, and enjoy experimentation. Without it we'd probably all still be listening to Gregorian chanting.
