Letters is the first full length solo release from Northern Ireland singer songwriter, Benjamin Amos. This intimate and honest offering is a collection of letters in musical form, from the last ten years of his life. Some of these letters have been delivered, some are yet to be delivered, and some, he's too scared to send. The first singles Never Far From Home, Maelstrom and Archie received airplay on BBC stations across the north of England where Amos was living at the time. Tracks have gone on to receive acclaim on Tom Robinson’s 6 Music. HotPress Magazine selected him as one of their Hot for 23 artists.
Amos cut his musical teeth as frontman of 'The Good Fight', winning a televised BBC Battle of the Bands and playing on some of the biggest stages across Ireland, before forming duo 'Sullivan & Gold'. The band signed to indie label Smalltown America and their album ‘For Foes' was released to a great reception and the album was shortlisted for the NI Music Prize. Sullivan & Gold toured the Scottish Hebrides, played in English cathedrals, and supported a wide range of acts from Lisa Hannigan to Ghostpoet. Now as a solo artist, Amos’ lush musical tones will appeal to fans of Sufjan Stevens, Fleet Foxes and Local Natives.
"a stunning collection of songs which deserves to make him a household name."
Sunday Life
"With the storytelling quality Benjamin Amos possesses, it's rude not to stop and listen."
Indie Band Guru
"An expansive journey of sounds, from stirring string accompaniments and beautiful vocal harmonies to uplifting rhythms and touching, heartfelt lyrics. It is difficult to listen to without feeling connected to your own experiences of relationships and heartache"
NARC Magazine
"A stirring and heartfelt paean, with Celtic strings and a swelling chorus that gets you right there."
