What looks like Greg Allman, writes and performs with the skill of Beck, adds the pop overtones of Harry Nilsson and makes people freak out when they hear it? Well, if you are lucky enough to have one of these, you’ve got yourself a rare and beautiful Benji Hughes. His EP has been on auto-shuffle in the mix here for months now & news of his ambitious double-cd A Love Extreme appearing on the landscape in a few weeks is great news.
Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Benji tends to haunt the Silverlake part of Los Angeles these days where he’s managed to connect a two-week tour with Thao and his pals in Rilo Kiley. If you’re yearning for a series of beautiful songs that run the sweet gamut from soulful urges to heartbreaking dirges, Benji Hughes should be added to your “to-do” list of people you must hear and see. Enjoy, then, these four MP3′s (courtesy of Benji Hughes and New West Records), then head over to Amazon and advance-order a copy.
