Ben Reed’s third album ‘Station Masters’, is a beautifully produced album infused with the Canterbury sound. It’s out now on Gare de Nord records.
Taking its lead from Soft Machine, the album’s highlights include the jazz-pop of ‘Drifting’ and ‘Be Mine’.
Other gems include the folky ‘Errata’ – a lovely version of Portuguese poet Manuel de Freitas’ song, and plaintive ‘Woman Overboard’. There are also High Llamas/Beach Boys/Wyatt inflections on ‘Only The Sun’, ‘Allgones’ and ‘Maniac Man’.
Station Masters is available on vinyl (with a CD of the album inside) or as a digital download:
