Logan

"Reticent was jointly written by the Pennsylvanian father/son combo. "These initial guitar lines of Logan’s are truly something to sink you into the song. The way he flicks from note to note like clockwork, while syncopated harmonics underpin and complete the part as a whole. Then comes the ever youthful father on vocals, double-tracked for that airy yet overcast atmosphere. But that quintessential classic bigbaldben sound starts soon after the bass rolls in, at around the 37th second. His close harmonies in tight thirds, often opting for the minor third atop a major chord. It’s his thang. Shouldn’t work. Does. Ben LOVES to sing in thirds but also in fourths, giving it a darker, more veiled and sinister slant. In fact, for me it is his harmonies that really give his music its own originality. While Ben’s voice does remind me of Kevin Parker (of Tame Impala fame) and Logan’s guitar work reminds me somewhat of Incubus, the whole song has a new sound to it. A new groove. Papa’s got a brand new bag. However, you will only really start nodding your head when the drums kick in. And kick they do!" "I will close by congratulating the duo on a fantastic song done superbly." - Charles Connolly
