Ah, pity the empty trophy cabinet of the "Intelligent Singer-Songwriter"...
How many worthy but doomed of these folk are there? For every Divine Comedy or Ben Folds that crosses over to sustained success there must be hundreds who don't make it. Ed Harcourt anyone?
Ben & Jason sadly fell into the latter camp, though a run of four albums suggests that someone believed in them enough to give it a bloody good go.
'Air Guitar' is an exquisitely constructed, irresistibly melodic and insanely catchy concoction. It consists of sweetly strummed guitar, mellow and wistful vocals, what sounds like a recorder (is that even allowed?) and assorted clanking noises in lieu of percussion.
File under gorgeous.
