Benson, Otto
Peanut
On Peanut, Otto stretches out as a songwriter, fully exploring the use of voice for the first time, accompanied mostly by guitar and keyboard, save for two instrumentals, "Mr. Peanut" and "Soy Beans," which also employ percussion. An understated, psychedelic folk record, Peanut's musical palette belies a depth of lyrical and tonal expression.
