Band Members: Piano/Keyboard, Lyrics/Vocals: Ben Willson. That's 2 L's in Willson. Not to be mistaken with every other Wilson you might know and be familiar with. Son of William, not Wilhelm.
Influences: Originally influenced but no longer inspired by Ben Folds: To this day both influenced and inspired by: Ryan Adams, Wilco, Death Cab for Cutie, Broken Social Scene, Ben Folds Five, The Postal Service, Arcade Fire, Sigur Ros, Sun Kil Moon, The Innocence Mission, my brother Drew, and my father's sermons. The Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber, and the illustrations by Marc Simont; The Dark Way by Virginia Hamilton, and the illustrations by Lambert Davis. Rain, mist, fog, thunderstorms, the glow of street lamp posts, the flickering of candlelight and its adverse shadows, the autumn and the winter, the break of day, the dead of night, the twilight, the nightlife, the rhythmic hum of fans, clanking of pots and pans, spattering drops of water from the faucet, hose, or lawn spigot. The fresh breeze in the dead calm. and all the wonders and the travesties we'll ever or never come to know.
Sounds Like: mortality.
