Benji Cossa is throwing his record release party for his buzzed about Between the Blue and the Green, on Tuesday, June 19th, at the Mercury Lounge. He'll perform at 7pm!
Benji is an amazing cross between Cat and Sufjan Stevens, mixing outsider-folk, classic AM pop, lo-fi indie rock, and roots music. Banjos, accordions, glockenspiels, synths and organs play beside a spare rhythm section and Cossa's otherworldly singing.
The record was recorded at various home sessions with Josh Kaufman (Higgins, Rocketship Park, Balthrop, Alabama), Devin Flynn (Pixeltan) and John Walsh, all of whom join Benji's rotating line-up of live players, which also includes members of Black Dice. The man keeps good company.
The Merc show is going to be hot. Go see him before he starts playing places like Town Hall........
