The happily married duo is releasing an adventurous, confident album, Honors, after their first personal and mysterious album, All This Could Kill You. The album drops January 25.
With Joshua Stamper on lead guitar, Josh Mosloskie on bass, and Steve Oyola on drums, Ben + Vesper‘s magical voices weave in and out one another; the duo has handsome, deep side and an angelic, whimsical side. Expect to hear exquisite piano playing from the one and only Sufjan Stevens, dropping in on the song “Strangely Danceable”. Also featured on Honors is Freddy Mercury, Pete Seeger, Little Anthony and Donald Fagen, all on vocals. The album was impressively recorded in just five days, thanks to Brian McTear, Amy Morrisey and Daniel Smith.
