Our friends over at the
Consequence of Sound were able to sit down with Ben Kweller to discuss the responses to his latest album, Changing Horses, among other interesting topics. The country-esque nature of his this latest project enabled the musician to connect with new fans and introduced new opportunities. However, it didn't please everyone. The following is a brief excerpt.
How have the last six months treated you since the release of Changing Horses? Is it a completely different experience to release a folky, alt-country sort of album album then it is a more pop oriented album?
The experience has been great… It seems like lots of my fans like the acoustic songs anyway and my folky stuff so, I think it’s been a fun album for them. The coolest thing though it has opened my music to lots of new fans… to people who never heard of me before, or heard of me but didn’t like the rock stuff. So, this album has been a real door opener in a lot of ways.
