BEN ELY – The Golden Path VINYL in recycled technicolour<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

BEN ELY\u2019s third full length solo album burns light through gloom in taking flight to THE\u00a0GOLDEN PATH.<\/p>\n

Naturally expanding his past solitary engagements towards the full exhilaration a band with all\u00a0the expansiveness that affords shines bright in this latest collection of Ben infused tunes. The\u00a0creativity runs deep and free in this one.<\/p>\n

“During 2020 not only did I, like the majority of musicians, lose a large percentage of my gigs\u00a0but the tool shed in my garden was destroyed by white ants. The little buggers had a feast on\u00a0the timber hiding behind the 20 feet high bamboo plant. I have a friend Millsey who is the set\u00a0builder at La Boite theatre. He had lost all his work also and offered to help me build a structure,\u00a0a little music studio in my garden to replace my destroyed one. He and his friend Jamie built me\u00a0a magical little space. I then proceeded to write and record in there everyday as there wasn’t\u00a0much else on\u2026 eventually offering up a new solo album. I went a bit crazy layering heaps of\u00a0instruments intending never to play it live as well there were no gigs were happening. It was\u00a0originally intended to be a dark solo venture, though working with dark subject matter was\u00a0getting me down. I decided to cheer myself up with a brighter outlook… and walk the golden\u00a0path instead.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2021. I was offered a show with a full band. So I got my friend Millsy who built\u00a0my studio, who happens to be also be a really great drummer to play drums.<\/p>\n

And here we are with the final result. The Golden Path.\u201d<\/p>\n
