Outside The Museum

"Aside from being a place most school children would rather be, Outside the Museum is the solo project of Benjamin Catt. Following his move from Sheffield to the slightly more alluring Paris last year, Benjamin recorded a string of inventive and engaging songs that sit somewhere alongside Mount Eerie and Akron/Family. When not selling books for a living, Benjamin experiments with outdoor recordings, found sounds and drones that form the perfect accompaniment to his quiet melancholy songs.
