5.0 out of 5 stars Surprise, surprise!, December 9, 2007

By 

Charles S (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beta Male Fairytales (Audio CD)

This, to me at any rate, unknown band, have produced one of the most sensitive, articulate and musical efforts of 2007. It turns out that the band have been plying their trade around the Portobello road area for some time, and have put this experience to good use. Most of the tracks suggest strife, doubt and identity crisis - but are beautifully crafted, and the music lightens the darkness, sadness and confusion that the lyrics suggest.
Hardly a weak effort on the CD - stand outs are the infectious Rise, the thoughtful Let Me Out, the reflective Carry On, and the moody, soulful Bad Dream. But the beautifully sung love song Time is perhaps the defining track.
What doesn't quite work? Well, perhaps Find Me An Angel has a little bit too much of the "bedsit whine", and Harmonica in F, while catchy, seems a little pointless. Other than that no complaints at all.
It feels as if the tracks were a long time in the making - it will take a strong effort to produce something as good as this.

5.0 out of 5 stars My latest obsession, March 9, 2008

Divemaster "Divemaster" (Washington) - See all my reviews

I bought this CD after listening to the band live in Seattle with A Fine Frenzy (Another great band). What an amazing voice Jamie has. He is very personable and passionate about his music and songwriting. I have to say, he is quite amazing live and his voice sounds like a mix between Rod Stewart and Bryan Adams. Unique, gritty but very addicting to listen to.

Based out of London, Ben's Brother is destined for success. Check out their site [...] for videos and interviews. Just don't forget to buy their CD first - you won't be disapointed.

This CD is definately my latest obsession. Love it!

I listened to Ben's Brother live last week in Seattle, and I was hooked to the music from the start, I'd love to see them live again but, in the meantme, the Album will do. Great find!
