Broken is the latest release from ‘Benjamin Jayne,’ a project that is sustained by Benjamin Wright out of Brattleboro, Vermont. The album was recorded in Wright’s home studio, produced by him and Drew Skinner. It’s being released by WhatAboutMusic as a digital download and via streaming platforms on October 13. Benjamin Jayne’s music has been compared to such acts as The National, Nick Drake, as well as Beck, and his baritone vocals have been compared to Leonard Cohen. However, his new record reveals an entirely new vocal range. The music tends to be on the darker side, melancholic and reflective, and is typically considered folk rock. Though he does use interesting electronic elements and at times gets a little too heavy to be called folk. The latest album continues in the realm of melancholia. It primarily deals with people trying to reconcile who they are now compared to who they remember themselves to be before the current of time got a hold of them. It is about seeing our reflection and being unrecognizable to ourselves and then facing the challenge of unraveling all of the elements we have wrapped ourselves in that don’t feel genuine. The album is seeking truth and rebirth. His work under Benjamin Jayne is a solo venture, but he does enjoy the input and occasional song from his sister Amanda Jayne who is an artist based out of Barcelona. He also consistently enlists Drew Skinner for engineering and production, though Benjamin co-produces on all of the albums. Benjamin practices psychiatry by day at the country’s smallest hospital, where he is the Director of Psychiatry. He also has a background in performance and songwriting, having studied film scoring and jazz performance at Berklee College of Music. He played in multiple bands over the last two decades and worked as a professional multi-instrumentalist in Los Angeles for a while before changing fields from music to psychiatry.
