You might recognize Ben Davis from his chaotic, noisy punk rock roots. You might know him as the guy in Sleepytime Trio who would smash his bass on the ground. You might remember him as the man in Milemarker who lit his drums on fire. You will definitely change your perception about him after hearing The Hushed Patterns of Relief. Where Sleepytime Trio and Milemarker reveled fiercely in blasts and squalls, Bens newest opus as a frontman finds him nursing tender melodies and tending to lush harmonies.
