Marco Benevento 'Between The Needles & Nightfall' (The Royal Potato Family)
It's a kind of unassuming weirdness that makes this a good listen. Perhaps Marco would do good to make a more hi-fi effort than a lo-fi one, but it's the lo-fi qualities that make something cool and somewhat unique in this case.
Tracks like the title track: 'Between the needles & nightfall','Ila frost and 'Music is still secret' are timid little pieces that might be attractive to a more mature new age listener on one end (where he might be taken more seriously), yet on the other end tracks like 'Two of You', 'Risd', and 'Wolf Trap' push it too a more vicious edge that comes natural to a guy in his age (32).
That's just to show you that I know what I'm hearing and what I'm talking about (knuckle shine), but otherwise really doesn't matter when it comes to constructing a very plushy densely packed world of whimsical joy.
