2007, Serious Business
Cult lo-fi pop hero Benji Cossa drops Between the Blue and Green, a treasure trove of grainy AM gold. The first pressing will feature handsome, hand-letter-pressed deluxe packaging, each piece home-made with love.
Between the Blue and the Green proves that great albums are alive in a time when the album is supposed to be dying. Benji Cossa’s songs and his singing impart a wonderment and wide-eyed joi de vivre that many artists miss entirely or are too guarded to express. The result is 40 minutes of prolonged joy that stands up to repeat listens and holds together like classic stuff tends to, each tune strong on its own but married to and bolstered by the others around it. His songs weave together into something almost cinematic, but in a grainy, honest, homespun sort of a way.
