Banff is Definitely on Our Wintertime Playlist [stream]

Banff – Stand in Line SoundCloud

Banff is a new exploration in music from Benjamin Forbes, who’s also the lead singer and guitarist of Brisbane folk/surf/rock outfit Little Casino. Forbes’ first release as Banff is a glowing, ambient electro-folk tune that sweeps into a soft ebb and flow of electronics, strings and dreamy vocals. Ever-so-gradually ascending to a triumphant climax, “Stand in Line” blends these sounds together perfectly, leaving only repetitions of the song’s title standing out prominently. Forbes’ songwriting talent is enhanced with the gentle fluidity of production from Tom Iansek of Big Scary and #1 Dads. “Stand in Line” is the perfect addition to an immersive and blissful winter afternoon playlist — just be sure to keep an eye out for Banff’s Future Self EP which comes out early this year.
