Ben Smith return with a raft of solo material after his debut release on NuNorthern Soul back in 2012. The Movedrill projects saw Ben weave between rock and folk roots and this latest projects sees Ben push the folk sound he has become known and respected for. Renown as a multi instrumentalist B.J. Smith is perhaps best known for his wonderful ‘Dedications to the Greats’ release which have seen him cover Mos Def, The Pharcyde and OutKast in his own unique style, Ben is also half of Balearic super duo, Smith & Mudd and one third of White Elephant with Jim and Chris from Crazy P.

This release forms part of a series of x3 12”s and will include mixes from Jonny Nash and A Man Called Adam.

Between Ship and Shore is a selection of folk songs that Ben has been crafting between his London home and summers spent in Cornwall and the results speak for themselves. One man and his guitar and his tales of time spent by the wonderful coastline of the South West of the UK and a hint of the Scottish Highlands.

JJ Cale, Terry Callier and John Martyn all influence and inspire Ben, and this is apparent in his subtle yet powerful tales.

'Hold On To It' utilises Ben's harmonious vocals and guitar playing skills to set the mood and building towards the main body of the track which unleashes a barrage of drums and percussion, the calm before the storm one might say, while the nagging vocal refrain of ‘Hold On To It’ urges the listener to do just that… 

'We Can Sail’ once again see’s Ben show his great vocal skills, this sublime relaxed outing washes around the listeners like the gentle waves lapping the shore. Ben adds brass stabs and harmonies that take this tracks soaring into the blue skies and adding plenty of space to allow it to soar and swirl like a gull on the sea breeze.

Jonny Nash takes ‘Hold On To It’ and adds his unique and prestigious style to proceedings, creating an ambient journey of early morning fog bound coastlines with haunting guitar work that ebbs and flows like the tide and adding off kilter, muted vocals to create the erie ambience of solitude and calm.

Buried deep beneath the castle was their only way out of the maze. Outside they could hear the tropical birds of the wilderness calling them, but they had yet to determine a way to break free to the jungle. The escape hatch would provide their only means of access to the greenery of the forest floor and the place of paradise. 

Seahawks are pretty freakin' balearic. I mean, their name is balearic, they sound balearic and the music they make is sure as hell balearic. Lush, peaceful and warm, their new release on Ocean Moon leaves us longing for sunnier climates.

Long Arm - Silent Opera (Project Mooncircle, 2018)

For those of a horizontal nature, Phil Mison needs little introduction. Over the last two decades, the DJ, producer and songwriter has become one of the most celebrated names on the Balearic chill-out scene. Here, he presents his second solo album under the Cantoma moniker "Out Of Town". This, his first release for the Leng label, picks up where that acclaimed debut left off. As you'd expect from a man who has devoted his life to showcasing the finest down-tempo music from around the world, "Out Of Town" fuses a wide variety of sounds and styles. The result is a beautiful, otherworldly album that moves effortlessly between blissful flamenco, shimmering, slo-mo nu disco, dubbed-out tango and haunting, ethereal soundscapes. 

As it unfolds, "Out Of Town" continues to surprise and delight in equal measure. There are emotion-rich songs ("Suomi", the confident and hooky "Under The Stars" and the more obviously Balearic "Only People"), blissful soundscapes ("Out Of Town", "Trees Of Highwood") and future chill-out anthems ("Paloma"). Throughout, Mison maintains an air of sun-flecked beauty and, as the myth and majesty envelops you, it's hard not to dream of starry, cloudless Ibizan nights and sweltering, peaceful afternoons by the pool. With "Out Of Town", Phil Mison has arguably produced his strongest music to date. Grab a copy and dive in.
