The UK brings us music thats good for the soul, yet again&
You may recognize their song Stuttering from a commercial, but I assure you, Bens Brother is anything but commercialized. Im not usually one for slow sappy sounding music, but Beta Male Fairytales is one of those albums that reaches deep down in your soul and doesnt let go. The lyrics are truly poetic and the melodies may be slow, but that doesnt equate to boring in any way. This is not the album you want to put on if you are getting ready to go out, but if you are relaxing at the end of the day and you just want to be serenaded, youre not going to find a better album right now. Stuttering is the song that got them attention, but the lyrics of Let me Out are extremely relatable and Live is probably another single that youll be hearing a lot of. I personally love all the songs though; its definitely an album you can listen to from beginning to end. Id say that this album sounds kinda like Keane or like the sophomore album that James Blunt should have put out instead of the crap he did. Also, be sure to check out their myspace page and see their first video. They had all of their fans send in videos of them singing and dancing to the song and the only thing that bugs me about it is that I just discovered them, so I couldnt be a part of it.
