Album Review: Benjamin Witt - Audio-Illogical Backyard Dog

Independent Perth musician Benjamin Witt is on a mission. He claims to have multiple records capturing different approaches in the works; however, the songs on this frustratingly-titled album are already incredibly varied.

Lost recalls The Velvet Underground with its three-chord garage rock simplicity and wiggly guitar solo, while Wait On Rain sounds like it could've been a Bernard Fanning track if it were slightly less psychedelic, and Sunday Morning Coming Down is reminiscent of a hungover Tom Waits piano ballad. There are too many sketches here to make it an easy listen, but that doesn't make it any less rewarding.
