Although Ben Allen is essentially a one-man band from Alice Springs, this is not the music of desert sunsets and endless horizons. It is home wrought electronics mixed with some real instrumentation, which could come from a back room full of things of wood and wire from many locations.

You're interested enough to wonder what happens next.
