Description
Four years after releasing the debut album with his band, The Excess (Gold Has Worn Away), Benji self-funds an album of songs written between 2020 and 2022.
"With a bit of enforced time on my hands I found material came flowing out. New songs were appearing and seeds of ideas that had already germinated grew into fully formed entities. Where previously I may have spent endless hours refining things, the pieces fitted together satisfyingly quickly and I was able to resist the urge to tinker, and move on."
The new material felt to Benji more like a solo project than band, so he set about recording the album with engineer and producer, Pete Brown (son of Joe Brown, brother of Sam) at his studio in Oxfordshire. Work was spread over a few months, starting at the end of summer 2022 through to completion in spring 2023. Featured guests include Pete Thomas and Joelle Barker (The Excess), Alex Hart (Benji's bandmate with the Seth Lakeman band), veteran backing vocalist Aitch McRobbie and Pete Brown himself.
The songs range from the intensely personal - as in the title track 'In Phase', a song about trying to make a connection to someone in the non-physical realm - to political and worldwide issues and the search for truth.
