Deluxe Editions of my last 5 albums are now available in the "Members" section. They are loaded with tons of B-Sides, Demos, and Alternate Takes spanning the last 10 years. I had a lot of fun putting these together and reminiscing. I think fans will find that this is an amazing window into my songwriting process. I'm making the B-Sides available under a Creative Commons license, meaning the songs may be shared or sampled as long as credit is given. More details on that are in the "Members" section.

The Deluxe Editions are free to listen to and you may also download them for any price you choose.

Not a Member? No problem, it's easy to sign up from the front page of the site.

Thanks for all the support and being part of this journey!

No end to this darkness ALBUM: BEN MYERS – ‘The Dark Heart Age’ (LP)  

by Walter Price 

What’s eating at Ben Myers? His latest release, ‘ The Dark Heart Age’, is a 12-track collection moving in and out of reminiscent conversations, promises, pleas, and lovelorn sentiments. Resulting in the vibe, for the most part, lingering in the darkness, with fleeting moments of abstract positivity. A voyeuristic experience into a talented songwriter’s heartbreaking and complicated memories. 

With all its beautiful piano and guitar arrangements covering a nice swathe of genres and Myers’ emotional words laying on the thick anguish, love, and longing. This album seemingly would better fit a Fall or Winter release/listen. Lest you forget, Summer has its rainy days as well. 

If you’re moved by Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith and/or Sufjan Stevens, this album will slide nicely into your downloads.

My 3 year project, "The Dark Heart Age" arrives on March 7th. Hear the new single, the title track, on my site. If you like the artwork I also have a t-shirt available in the store.

Cheers!

I am working on a follow-up album to Portrait. I have 10 new demos put together and excited to let you guys hear them. I'm probably going to give myself some time to write a few more songs before I start recording the actual album. Keep an eye on my twitter as I post new info about the project and will likely release new material in the coming months.

Hope all is well. Cheers!

Linda was kind enough to listen to Portrait and write a short piece about it. Her first language is French and she did a great job with an English review. She was ok with me editing as needed. - Ben 

Portrait, An Invitation to the Voyage 
by Linda (@ArcticMonkcul)
  
On October 14th Ben Myers released “Portrait”, an album mostly based on the concepts of love and underlying commitment. The lyrics of “Portrait” address everyone yet creates a personal experience for the listener. Ben’s message of love to his muse is so strong throughout that we can’t help but wonder who it might be. In Portrait love is everywhere. Love surrounds us. 
  
“It’s been a while, since I last wrote a song for you. It’s been a while, but babe, this one here is for me too.” – Aging Hearts 
  
Ben’s hushed voice shares a certain sensibility with us. A feeling of serenity is evident in each song. Even with his abstract lyrics, Ben makes the listener feel like he understands how they are feeling. He sings in whispers but his message of love, understanding, peace and passion resonate loudly with his hushed tone. 
  
A verse from “Invitation of the Voyage” by Baudelaire completely sums up this album: 
  
“There, there’s only order, beauty: abundant, calm, voluptuous”
