about

What If I - Single Version. Inspired by a Bach chorale, 'Preserve my faith from error free' Benjamin wrote a melody over it and then the words "Sylvia, my own" came to him. Known for performing with indie folk rockers Okkervil River, making albums with Joan As Police Woman and Bridget Kearney and his band Cuddle Magic after years of contributing to the indie rock landscape Benjamin is now stepping out of the shadows to show his understanding of music's most intricate elements, distilling them into the pure high that only pop melodies can deliver.
