Our Take

Ben Bedford takes us on a whimsical journey through time and space with his latest album, "The Pilot And The Flying Machine." This folk singer-songwriter showcases his storytelling prowess as he delves into the world of aviation and adventure.

From the soaring melodies of "Wings of Angels" to the introspective balladry of "High Above the Blue," Bedford's songwriting shines bright like a beacon in the night sky. His warm vocals and intricate guitar work create a sense of nostalgia that transports listeners to a bygone era of barnstormers and biplanes.

But don't be fooled by the album's quaint facade - there's a depth and complexity to Bedford's music that belies its simple charm. Tracks like "The Pilot at the Helm" and "A Light in the Dark" reveal a darker, more introspective side to the artist, adding layers of emotional depth to the album.

Overall, "The Pilot And The Flying Machine" is a delightful romp through the clouds, a musical adventure that will leave you feeling lighter than air. With his knack for storytelling and undeniable talent, Ben Bedford has crafted a timeless masterpiece that is sure to take flight in the hearts of listeners everywhere. So fasten your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff - this is one musical journey you won't want to miss.
