Benjamin Dean Wilson's eccentric brand of indie pop blends wry character narratives with offbeat pop whimsy, falling somewhere between
Stephin Merritt and
Adam Green. Citing a healthy span of influences from
Franz Schubert to
Leonard Cohen and
Meat Loaf, the Oklahoma native recorded his debut LP,
Small Talk, in a small shed outside of his Tulsa home, playing all of the parts himself.
Wilson's unique songs struck a chord with German label Tapete Records, which issued
Small Talk internationally in April 2016. ~ Timothy Monger
