Following a few promising singles and outstanding EPs, London tunesmith and artist Benjamin Shaw delivers a wonderfully disturbing and unpredictably beautiful debut LP. The 52-second title track makes a perfect intro: Shaw warbles through a dipsomaniacal haze over rootsy, ramshackle instruments that clang and clomp around. His murmured inflections sound a bit like an English version of Farmer Dave Scher. This bleeds seamlessly into “How to Test the Depth of a Well”—a waltzing ballad built on similarly cacophonous layers of delightfully sloppy instruments, which hoist his airy self-harmonies and self-deprecating lyrics. The lightly plucked strings, wheezing accordion tones, and melodramatic woe-is-me viola notes perfectly accompany his sleepy singing on “Interview,” an emotionally draining dirge to the daily grind. But not every moment here is gloomy. “Somewhere over the M6” slowly layers sounds, building into a blossoming juggernaut of post-shoegazing bliss.
