To most people, Yotam is already known as the lead singer/ bass player / songwriter of the israeli punk rock band Useless ID (Fat

With Useless ID still completely intact and several records under his belt( not to mention a string of successful local punk rock albums he produced) Ben Horin has taken a left turn into his latest project, a solo album highlighting Yotam's songwriting sensibilities while decidedly 'toning things down a little.
Ben Horin has constructed a quiet set of brand new musical gems, entirely produced and arranged by himself.
Now armed with a six string in his hand he has put together an epic trio in support of his new works. The songs mostly deal with emotions, love, self doubt and all that great personal shit we all have to deal with: but his take on it is pretty direct and surprising. In these songs his influences of Death Cab For Cutie and Eliot Smith are apparent.
His debut solo album was mixed by AJ Mogis ( Bright Eyes / Cursive) and mastered by Doug Van Sloun.
