mutual benefit - 'skipping stones'

This is from Texas music collective, Mutual Benefit, a band whose subtlety belies a very professional and accomplished edge. The whole album on Bandcamp is well worth checking out.

I do love their new album 'Skip A Sinking Stone' so much. It has a lovely dream-like quality to it throughout, It washes over you like a gentle breeze. The songs sound a little retro, sort of West Coast early 60s hippy. I particularly like how this song builds and builds from a mish-mash of noise almost like a cake recipe. Lovely stuff.

I double-checked and I'm surprised that I've not blogged this band before now. They did pop up on a mixtape post a year or so back but nothing apart from that. Let's put that right. Mutual Benefit is essentially a one-man band from Boston via Austin, Texas but with a fluid line-up of other band members. The sound is wonderfully folky, dream-like even.
