Daniel Benjamin

„.. Just like German artist Norman Palm, DANIEL BENJAMIN stems from Germany‘s province (in his case from the Stuttgart area), he has a beautiful voice - and his English is excellent. The music he crafted has nothing to do with the usual clichés about singer / songwriters.

The new album of this guitar-player and multi-instrumentalist, called „There‘s A Deathbed For Your Monster“, switches from highly complex Pop music to elements from classical music and clever Radiohead references.

The velvety baritone of this 30-year-old and the tender voice of his Greek wife Eleni present the most beautiful completion to the enchanted listener. They so easily created an album that pleasantly reminds me of the music of the most talented German Indie Pop artist Konstantin Gropper (Get Well Soon).

Norman Palm, DANIEL BENJAMIN and Josef Wirnshofer (alias Marble Man) are three extremely talented song blacksmiths from the highly developed German Indie music scene.“

It‘s a mild summer night. Car windows are open. It‘s intoxicating, how the city lights rush by. Then straight over the cliff, the fall into the river. A brief moment of zero gravity, until one dips into the water, swimming to the shore in order to get wrapped in dry towels to have breakfast. It is images like this that will buzz through your head when listening to the Pop songs of the album „There‘s A Deathbed For Your Monster“.

DANIEL BENJAMIN sings with a manly, yet cuddly voice. A soft melancholy interfuses his compositions that softly enter your ear, mixed with the soft sounds of the electronic piano, guitar, violin, organ, bass and drums. For three quarters of an hour, DANIEL BENJAMIN seems to make any time passing by totally forgotten, that‘s how hypnotic his melodies sound. Boring in places? Not really. His compositions are so captivating you will want to listen to this album sparkling with musical passion - over and over again.

„I want this, I want this, I want this“, says the „little man“ in DANIEL BENJAMIN‘s ear. The „little man“ planted the seed in this singer / songwriter‘s mind, it‘s an idea that will be hard to accomplish. It is the intention of creating a 10 album circle which is meant to establish this multi-instrumentalist in the annals of concept art. This is some serious drudgery, even for a highly talented and chameleon-like singer / songwriter such as DANIEL.

But it‘s looking more than promising for him, because „There‘s A Deathbed..“ is not just a consistent continuation from the previous album, it also makes the audience believe that the music streaming from the speakers could not possibly be more beautiful. Well, until the next album gets released, that is. And so on. However, „There‘s A Deathbed...“ is also an artfully crafted picture puzzle that intends to lead you astray, before bit by bit revealing its precious secrets.

DANIEL BENJAMIN was supported by Thus:Owls, as well as members of Loney Dear and Patrick Wilson.

Excerpt from WHITNEY HOUSTON concert review

(...) Support act DANIEL BENJAMIN was a ray of hope
What creative song-writing, spontaneity and a trained voice can accomplish was made clear to WHITNEY‘s fans during the support act‘s live performance: DANIEL BENJAMIN, a young singer / songwriter from Germany.

Unfortunately, his set only lasted half an hour and he did not get the best venue sound, but this minimalist proved that less can literally be more - especially when not all the artist‘s talent has been used up (in reference to WHITNEY HOUSTON‘s live performance that day).
