Some musicians are masters at feeding the soul. They tap into the sunniest parts of our childhoods and help us look toward the optimistically clean slate of the future. Teaming up with Daniel Martin Moore in a very appropriately named project, Ben Sollee has returned full force, armed with Georgia peaches and old barn tales.
His cello playing is more minimalist than ever before, and it makes for a much more endearing brand of music. Perhaps because this is not a solo project, Sollee has taken a break from crafting showy, elaborate songs and rather contributes to what is mostly a collection of beautiful slow-dance numbers. Dear Companion is like a much needed summer breeze: subtle, refreshing, and perfectly fragrant.
Let this duo take you to the grassy plains of Kentucky, far away from the stress of bills, school and the impending apocalypse.
3.5/5
