From Songs To Make You Happy
 
With two brilliant Eps to his name already, it’s been around five years since Welsh Marches resident Benji Tranter put his name to his sounds. Having recently spent time with the power-pop three-piece Ski Lift, his band has reached lofty heights with plays on BBC Radio and beyond. Now that he’s returned to his lo-fi home-grown sound with the debut full-length album, Benji Tranter presents the video for Satellite. As Britain enters the space-age with its first ever rocket launch tonight, putting home-made satellites into orbit, it’s an ideal time to update you with this relevant and artistically stunning song-writer. Produced by Benji himself and featuring a selection of talented friends, Songs To Make You Happy is available from January 20th. 
 
The music begins with a broken guitar riff that blurs into drums. The chords begin again once the beat is established, and a happy tune ensues. The lyrics leap from the bars in giddy dances as a chugging guitar rhythm keeps time with the sway. We can sing-a-long with the words as the crisp and listenable delivery makes it difficult not to. Laid-back and full of personal groove, the tuneful creation of music rests on sturdy laurels as harmonies and musicality fortify the sound.
