For their first album away from spiritual home Claremont 56, Ben Smith and Paul “Mudd” Murphy have decided to put a decidedly Balearic slant on the kind of atmospheric and quirky music that once was the mainstay of library music stalwarts KPM Records. Given their influences and seemingly innate ability to create heart-stopping, mind-soothing soundscapes, it’s a canny move. Certainly, the music contained on “Tea With Holger” is impeccable, combining picturesque guitar and piano motifs with lilting easy listening orchestration, heady choral vocals, razor sharp strings and nods to various well-known TV and film soundtrack styles. Yet for all the knowing nods to old library music sounds, it’s the quality of the duo’s emotive and inspiring compositions that stands out.
