Additional information
Benjamin Dean Wilson's auspicious debut, Small Talk, is an offbeat and polarizing pop platter that bears the hallmarks of a potential cult favorite. Soberly clad in a black turtleneck and unfussy mustache, Wilson gazes up from the album's cover like a high school drama teacher inviting the viewer to take its contents quite seriously. The album's intentionally vague press release describes Wilson as a cinema-obsessed math student from Tusla, Oklahoma whose musical influences include classical composers like Franz Schubert and Leos Janácek alongside Bob Dylan, Meat Loaf, and South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. What comes across on tape is a sort of dry-witted, Great Plains indie pop bard whose oddball character narratives channel bits of Stephin Merritt, Randy Newman, Jonathan Richman, and Adam Green, among others. Recorded to analog tape in a shed in Oklahoma and released by German label Tapete Records, Small Talk's six tracks unwind slowly over light retro-pop arrangements that range from doo wop and country, to folk and '70s easy listening. In a casual, half-spoken delivery, Wilson -- a young man -- spouts wry slice-of-life tales of aging, middle-aged yearning, and the pains and complexities of adulthood. His surprisingly relatable characters aren't necessarily down-and-out, but stymied by what life seems to be delivering them. At first blush, it all seems a little too ironic and cleverly designed, but repeated listens reveal a beating heart behind the smirk. Several of the tracks exceed the seven-minute mark, and the closer, "Rick, I Tick Tock.," doubles that length as Wilson unspools his eccentric narratives in elaborate detail. Small Talk certainly isn't for everyone, but Wilson has both craft and vision enough to make it work for him. ~ Timothy Monger

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
