Benjamin Jameson Morey - "Chest Songs" (or) "The Giraffe in the Fishbowl"

This album is the second installment of Benjamin Jameson Morey's Wallpaper Series, and my first official venture into his music. So far, I am sweetly impressed.

Benjamin's entire operation is all about a guy with a guitar, somewhere in a living room or a basement in upstate New York, scribbling away songs on piece of paper, and this is reflected in his music. The melodies are simple, sweet, and catch your ear--they remain ringing long after the song has finished--and the songs feature lyrics to match. Benjamin writes from the heart, and this album is a testament to that.
