Introduction
Welcome to my very small tribute
to the indie band Addictive Ease. I highly recommend their unique blend
of smooth electronica, quiet acoustic guitars and subtle r&b for anyone
who needs a little aromatherapy... I know this page is incredibly pathetic,
but Addictive Ease JUST gained their first indie release so information
is a smidge scarce. Additions or corrections are welcome with open arms.
