A debut of enlightenment
It don't happen often that a debut album impress you as much like the 'Neon Cathedral' does. Ben Ivory has delivered a superb and solid Synth Pop album here.
For me it's like a musical enlightenment like a pearl that comes right out of a hard shell. And I hope that Ben Ivory will stay on this road, and deliver us with more of such pearls in the next decades.
The bright neon light
The song 'The Righteous Ones' is especially dear to me. Powerful, strong construction, good message and perfect for the dancefloor.
Furthermore I recommend you to listen to the title song 'Neon Cathedral'. Unfortunately, there is a little lack of dynamics in many of the other songs. Nevertheless, it is an excellent album, and for a debut album simply outstanding.
