notes
Lyrically, these songs attempt to describe some of the inner demons and angels which most of us live with from a detached and light-hearted viewpoint.
Musically, the aim was to avoid blandness or over-production, while still giving the songs the colours they needed. 2 songs were done completely live. Real piano was used instead of keyboards and in many cases double bass instead of bass guitar.
Each of the 3 batches of songs from the sessions in London, Leeds and Suffolk uses a different musical and production approach, which hopefully enhances the album. The collective personnel take the music further than Ben's solo outings but never to the detriment of the songs.

Kill or Cure
author: nika blazerBen Walker's best albumm to date! I loved the richness, the variety, and the melody, from the rock and roll uplift to the full piano which was vaguely reminiscent of hunky dory, or all that 70s vibe. not a dud in there!
