Floris Bates' music is a mixture of emo vulnerability and sexual frustration. The contrast of his musical skills and punky skepticism makes it sound like Andrew Lloyd Webber on adderall while crying over his lost toyboy. His serenades to various supermodels and movie characters give you an insight of this guys twisted little world where subjects like medication abuse and dubious photoshoots are being discussed without any shame. The music itself is best described as psychedelic/new-age/classical/emo/reverb/more reverb/jazz/metal/pocketpoolpop/punk/bluesrock/indie which makes it easy on the ear. Inspired by Falco, Sonic Youth, Barry Manilow, Donny Osmond and Phil Collins' legendary "The Best Ballads Of Phil Collins" Floris Bates' music unconditionally provides joy and compassion for every age and all ethnic groups.
