Moon Window by Benjamin Woods
Moon Window was recorded in the first eleven days of February 2011 in Ladysmith, British Columbia at the Noise Floor. All songs were written by Benjamin Woods between 2009 and 2011 (a couple in the studio). The style of music varies widely from song to song, as Benjamin has a low threshold for monotony.
The addition of one family's musical prowess (Mack Shields, Gabe Pinchbeck, and Ari Jonsson - three brothers) and our other gypsy friends - Blaine Komatich, Teryl Jackson - along with Jordan Koop's devoted mixing makes Moon Window a debut album to be reckoned.
Most instrumental parts, beside the original composition of the songs, were developed at the studio during the eleven days of recording and mixing. This ability to manifest the muse in the moment is translated into a strong live performance by the Benjamin Woods Band.
