EP Review - Ben James Miller / Until We Are Bones

Written by Adam Gallagher

Ben James Miller, has produced a soothing yet meaningful summery EP 'Until We Are Bones', the cleverly titled EP has three songs based around love, before you turn your nose up at it, we highly recommend you give all three a listen.

The EP is opened with the track 'Honeymoons'. With the upbeat rhythm proved by the drums, instantly I knew I could be sat in the back garden, sunbathing like we all do in Middlesbrough every summer and blasting this outloud, it would be very fitting, but as the song goes on you instantly see that it is a upbeat love song where Ben is pouring his heart out and singing about how grateful he is of the things he has in life.

Ben has slowed the pace down on the second song, 'When We Marry'. I normally aren't a big fan of slow songs, but I've listened to this song a few times now and I've already found myself singing along to parts of the song. It is a fantastically well written song, which when played live I can imagine the crowd getting the chance to sing along with Ben.

The final track of the EP, is 'Little Deaths'. Ben has turned up tempo on this to end with a bang. Showcasing what he is capable of producing with the help of his band, Simon Shaw and Andrew Jones.  His vocals are solid not only in this song but throughout all three songs.

Overall, it is a very solid three tracked EP, which anyone can enjoy listening to. Ben and the guys should be very proud of what they have managed to produced.
