If:then:goto - Another Syntax Error [one022]

Usually I'm not into songwriter stuff. But this one here is quite impressive: When you listen to it, you imagine a sort of depressed guitar band (which is nothing judgmental - I thought exactly the same when I heard Coldplay for the first time) - but in fact, it's a one man show! And a good one, too: With low-key instrumentation, Paul Benham focusses on his vocal part - a task he's obviously pretty good at. The first songs are a little bit to draggy for me, but with "Painting By Numbers" and the remixes the real highlights follow soon...

Official text:
'Another Syntax Error' qualifies simply as good song writing. Nothing tech, nothing too fancy - just good production, soulful vocals, inspiration, and catchy choruses. A mixture of brit-indie, guitar, and electronic music taken down his own path.
Finding Paul Benham's music was like stumbling across a favorite band I had somehow missed. Then I found out it was only one person, an avid songwriter with a prolific output that would be admired by many musicians.
To top it off and spin things up, 'ASR' is closed out with 3 remixes from favorite One artists - including Emil Klotzsch, Bad Loop and Recue.
