| Biography: After playing in each others bands, songwriters Jaye Muller and Ben Patton
decided to join forces and create this very beautiful 10 song album, "Muller
and Patton".
Clearly audible in these tracks are the influence of the Beatles, Queen, Brian
Wilson, David Bowie, the Zombies and other melodic and arranged pop-rock,
but the end result is a genre of their own.
Jaye Muller was born in Berlin, East Germany, and moved to Paris, France,
where he recorded the hit album "We Are The Majority" as "J." He then moved
to New York to create the follow-up album but got sidetracked with creating
an internet company (j2) instead...
Now living in London he is concentrating on songwriting again, crafting
timeless melodies and sophisticated chord changes.
Ben Patton was born in Bakersfield, Vermont, USA, and relocated to Boston,
Massachusetts in his late teens. Over the years he has recorded many homemade
albums of his quirky pop-rock originals. Recently he released his first
commercial album, "Here's The Good News Album". Ben met Jaye in 2002,
and the two immediately recognised similar tastes and talents.
Muller and Patton's self titled debut album will be released in January 2005.
On the recording Jaye and Ben play most of the instruments themselves. The
music was entirely a joint effort, with Ben penning the lyrics on his own.
Highlight tracks: I WANT MY MOMMY, LIFE PRESERVER, BUT DO YOU
TRUST ME?, GIRL IN A RESTAURANT... |
