Benoit’s fourth release and debut album, Blue Bird, explores broken landscapes and barren backyards in a subtle and poetic fashion.

In the hills of the Dandenong Ranges, the nine tracks of Blue Bird were recorded by Benoit within the space of a few days in single takes. Sound engineer, David Miller, managed to coax in some friends of his to lend a hand in filling out the sound of the recordings with vocals, banjos, slide guitars, piano and harmonicas. These additions helped to complete the songs to leave a sound that is real and intimate.

Due to the unforeseen circumstances of 2020, Benoit's fifth album, 'Valley', is expected to be released slightly later than planned.

The songs of 'Interlude' were written during Melbourne's extensive lockdown. In anticipation of the forthcoming release of 'Valley', 'Interlude' was released to satisfy the artistic urge to share and give, during a time of waiting and uncertainty.

These are love songs, mixed with quiet reflection and contentment.

See you on the other side.

Reflecting on his upcoming release of the five track EP, Fifty miles, Benoit remarks:

"My latest collection of songs are much closer to my heart than I expected. Five songs that sum up a journey in reconstructing what I once knew to be so secure, but left me empty, scrambling for a new direction. It does not stop there, or maybe it never does

Reflecting on his upcoming release of the five track EP, Fifty miles, Benoit remarks:

"My latest collection of songs are much closer to my heart than I expected. Five songs that sum up a journey in reconstructing what I once knew to be so secure, but left me empty, scrambling for a new direction. It does not stop there, or maybe it never does stop, whatever I may mean by that. But one thing I have found and hindsight has shown that there is indeed peace in insecurity, wholeness in pain and hope in sorrow."

Fifty miles marks the third release of Benoit since his humble beginnings in 2016 with the four track EP, Beam.
