BENEDICT

A nice n deep, doozy double here from Benedict who pairs warm, sultry house grooves with soulful, Sade-esque vocals and slightly spiritual leanings. Reversed strings, scintillating keys, warm bass and hugging pads, all adding to that sexy n sumptuous, after hours flavour.



STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Interesting one. Benedict released just four records between '94-'95. Then nothing until now. Thirty years later he's switched his machines back on and stroked out this effortless slice of deep house pleasure. A very mysterious cat indeed.

TRACK LISTING

A. Something
B. Something Else

Benedict Benjamin is Ben Rubinstein, formerly of The Mariner’s Children and Peggy Sue. After writing and recording his debut, Ben turned to a more full band sound for his second album "Truant", which was written just before and after becoming a father and is about the panic and pragmatism of expecting and then becoming a parent. The early sixties influence of The Everly Brothers is still present in the melodies, but now there is an urgency and grit to the instrumentation that sits somewhere between The Velvet Underground and Tom Petty, or more recent forbears such as Kevin Morby and Angel Olsen. Both "Night Songs" and "Truant" were produced by Dan Blackett (Landshapes, Bella Union.
