This EP from Benjamin Verdoes , ex- Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band is something that quite defies genre branding. The vibe of ‘The One & The Other’ is, chilled, laidback, ethereal and an EP with a magnetic sound over it’s 25 minutes duration.
Benjamin, a multi-instrumentalist, has spent the last five years developing as a producer and beat-maker. Set in in six chronological night time scenes the EP has layers of texture that transport the listener into the night outside, whilst listening to the record comfortably at home.
No indie rock from Benjamin this time around on what is a very promising electronic EP. It’s a crowded marketplace out there buy this guy deserves your attention.
