All This Could Kill You

This thirteen-song album smartly navigates wildly disparate genres and styles. If it must be classified, it would be 1/3 English country lane, 1/3 croonsville, 1/16th Motown, 1/32 Brazilian psychodelialand, and 1/32 dark mythic forest. This is music that innocently holds hands with innovation and accessibility. Every song offers instrumentation that is wonderfully diverse and concise, derived from a team of formidable players such as Sufjan Stevens and Daniel Smith (Danielson), as well as family and friends of Ben + Vesper. All This Could Kill You achieves what all timeless music does: to look squarely at the sufferings of this life and hold out hope like a weapon for all to wield, and to have fun all the while.
