Ben Sures, The Story That Lived Here. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The mind is more than just an organic machine residing in a structured collection of a bag of bones, it is the home of all our tales, the holding place for all the anecdotes, the comfortable legends in which we revel. The fictions that justify our actions, the rumours unfound and the narratives to the silent film of our existence, the mind is the safe in which The Story That Lived Here can be relived, explored, added to without anyone knowing that the script had been altered to make us look more of the hero than the villain.

Ben Sures, Poema Poematis. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

You would expect nothing else but brilliance from a man who once metaphorically and lyrically had gone to Bolivia and whose humour is intelligent, well observed and keenly delivered across his music; a performer to whom popular doesn’t quite describe his appeal but one to whom the story is attention grabbing and an absolute pleasure to hear.

Ben Sures, Gone To Bolivia. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Listening to Ben Sures’ new album Gone To Bolivia, one cannot help but be struck by the mood, the picture of life that he draws with his music in the same way that you would expect the likes of Constable, Pitman or even Frederic Marlett’s Bell-Smith to paint and observe existence, for there seems to be something much deeper going on in the subject’s appearance than first taken for granted in the beauty that is framed.
