Music is such a personal experience! Not only the listening aspect is a highly personal one but the process of discovery can be highly personal too. Never having followed pop culture news much, and lately even less so, I was not aware of the buzz that [Mothxr](https://www.facebook.com/MOTHXR) must have gotten over the last couple of months. They also played five shows during this year’s CMJ and I missed all of them which is kinda odd, since I must have left Piano’s on October 24th only minutes before they went on stage.

So it took me until yesterday, while on a stroll at Williamsburg’s waterfront, when I run into **Simon Oscroft**. I met Simon, a greatly talented guitar player, earlier this year during SXSW (and a little later again at [Mercury Lounge](http://www.glamglare.com/music/2014/3/23/the-darcys-and-no-at-mercury-lounge)) and was wondering how he’s doing, knowing that he parted with his former band. We had a lovely brief chat where Simon told us about his new band and their December residency at [Pianos](http://www.pianosnyc.com/?ref=glamglare.com). At this point, I still didn’t know anything about Mothxr other than that the name sounded vaguely familiar.

At home again, I started to listen to their songs on soundcloud and was immediately smitten by *Easy* – a breezy, wistful song with a driving rhythm and a great, enchanting voice on top of it. *Easy* has its fine share of hooks, lulls you in and you don’t want to let go again… I liked all the songs I could listen too, yet *Easy* stands out.

It would be easy -and down right foolish- to immediately dismiss the band on grounds of their famous front man! **Mothxr** (for a short while they were known as M o t h e r) is headed by [Penn Badgley](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Penn-Badgley), who became famous through the beloved TV show [Gossip Girl](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397442/?ref=glamglare.com), and lately in the Jeff Buckley bio pic [Greetings from Jeff Buckley](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1823125/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F5&ref=glamglare.com), where he also sings. He’s a fantastic singer and he is obviously very smart too by surrounding himself with talented musicians. Together they form a band that makes fresh and highly catchy music. Here’s to seeing them live soon and hearing more of them!

And here’s a video by *Perez TV* of the same song, revealing all band members.
