BEN & VESPER
MORE QUESTIONS (SOUNDS FAMILYRE)
Introducing Ben + Vesper- the pure extract of marital bliss you've always wanted but were afraid to ask for.
With a half smirk and a hushed croon, it is Ben's life mission to sing for you with all his heart .
Ben also strums and picks at a but ter-yellow T elecaster like someone being introduced to an exot ic but delicious food.
The ever radiant Vesper has a voice that could slay a dragon if it needed to, but it doesn't need to because her accordian playing tames the heart of the wicked beast .
Ben + Vesper live in New Jersey-what could be more romantic? It shows in the crushing love songs that hide themselves among shopping lists while shadowy omens take the shape of swelling laundry piles.
Truly, these are words and sounds that could only be forged in the fires of matrimony. But enough of them, let 's talk about you! This November, you will be going bonkers over a new Sounds Familyre release ent it led "More Quest ions." This happens to be Ben + Vesper's first collaboration with Danielson front man Daniel Smith.
"More Questions" is a seven song ep that features the commanding performances of Kurt Weisman and Asa Irons a.k.a.
Feathers, as well as Chris Weisman and Josh Stamper, (quite possibly the world's greatest musicians).
Still, there's more! When you've worn out the grooves on your ep, you can look forward to "All this could kill you." This is Ben + Vesper's full length album scheduled for release in February 2007 on the Sounds Familyre label.
This thirteen song collection includes Daniel, David and Elin Smith, Josh Stamper, Sufjan Stevens and Chris Weisman.
With such prospects, Ben + Vesper beckon the weary and wary listener towards a rich spread and surround them with a faithful and talented party of players, making music that strikes hard at any heart that has ever loved and lost .
