Manchester based Minute Taker is the alias of alternative singer-songwriter Ben McGarvey, who released his latest mini-album, Reconstruction, last November. Speaking of the release he’s described the sound as, “the search for new improved ways of rebuilding yourself when your world has been blown apart”. The sonic aesthetic of his music certainly reflects the poignant nature of its inspiration, offering a celestial and haunting sound akin to Amber Run.
Lifted from his last release is The Weight Of It All, a choral style piece of haunting intensity. Subtle energy is injected into the ambience with the use of electronic percussion allowing McGarvey’s raw emotive vocals to soar above and his profound lyrics to ring through.
