Ben Harper and Relentless7: White Lies For Dark Times

4 stars

Ben Harper’s soulful voice gives life to his latest album.

A hybrid concoction of rock-infused blues has burst from Ben Harper and Relentless7’s new album White Lies For Dark Times. This soulful guitar riff driven band has not fallen short since forming in the 1990s. They have emerged from the rock scene with a distinct sound that features bouncy rhythmic drumming and also the mellow punch of vocalist Ben Harper. His set of pipes has the smoothness of The Kings of Leon’s vocals, but with a heavier bluesy feel that makes you either want to dance or hold a lighter up in the air and sway it from side to side!

Sarah’s fave tracks: Skin Thin and Keep It Together (So That I Can Fall Apart)

It was great to see Ben Harper at Virgin Fest. Anyone else catch him?
