Welsh musical polymath Benjamin Mason is set to release a unique charity album on the 28th July. The album consists of thirteen of Benjamin's songs covered by his friends/contemporaries.

"I Asked My Friends To Cover My Songs And This Is What They Came Up With" main aim is to raise funds for the Thorne Mason Trust, which is a Pembrokeshire based charity aiming to help brain tumour sufferers in the area. They have also donated large amounts to Brain Tumour Research and are currently funding a PHD student. For more information visit (www.thornemasontrust.co.uk)

Over its thirteen tracks the album sees Ben's original compositions twisted into many exciting new forms including avant-electronica, lo-fi DIY garage pop, and ethereal pop.

Artists who have contributed to the album include: Pulco, Ryu, Undersound, Easy Buffalo, Todd Tuttle and Douglas Seidel, Yewdrops, Quiet Noise, Derren Heath, Jonski, Ian Thistlethwaite, Matthew Frederick and Jodie Marie.

The unique artwork for the album was created by Richard Blacklaw-Jones who uses found objects on Pembrokeshire beaches to make his pieces. (www.beachcombingart.co.uk)

Re: collection

Sometime in the early summer of 2016 Benjamin had gotten in touch with me about contributing to a project consisting of various musicians/ creators performing covers of Bens work. Open ended, pick any song and do as you like. So, I approached Doug with the idea, if he had interest in the project, and he said "Sure". The tentative completion timeframe was the end of that summer or early fall. I chose this track as Ben's original intrigued me, musically, lyrically, as so many of his tracks do. The lyrics in our cover, are pared down considerably, and the resulting song is far from the original. So, upon listening to what we had come up with, Benjamin said, "it's just what I was looking for" or something to that effect. The entire collection of covers is quite enjoyable and flows, from beginning to end. Some pretty nice stuff on there. It's a great cause and we were happy to participate in such a thing.
