Donny Benét returns with 'Mr Experience' as a wiser, smarter artist, but still every bit the joker
as a wiser, smarter, more mature artist, but every bit the same “Australian piss-taker,” in his own words.is a party in a package, which funks its way across 10 tracks. It’s the culmination of two years’ work, during which time the Sydney singer, bass player and producer created a pool of 30 songs. “Some are completely finished, some I’ve just started and an hour later started swearing and dragged it into the ‘rejects’ folder,” he tells. “I haven’t dropped the rejects folder into the trash.
Benét is always looking forward, even if his sound and style harks back to a glorious age when we rolled up our jacket sleeves, slap bass ruled and“For me," he explains,"there’s a process with writing where I get the shit out of the way first. This is a very coronavirus pandemic-based analogy to use. I’ve started baking bread, which everyone’s been doing. The more you make the more you learn about the process of it.
“I think there’ll be a glut of releases and tours next year,” notes Benét, who boasts a Masters Of Music from the Sydney Conservatorium. “It’s going to be really hard to stand out.” A fiercely independent artist, Benet has no imitators. There’s no pigeonhole for him. Think, debonair with a flair for ‘80s fashion. Think pastel jackets and jumpsuits, chunky bass lines, dreamy synth chords and ironic, next-level sex appeal.
“I’m a real joker at heart,” he admits, “at the same time the criteria I have for myself and writing music is, would I enjoy listening to it if I was a punter and will I enjoy playing this every night for the next two years? Would I get off the stage and have some sort of fulfillment. If you could write a throwaway song, you’ve got to sell that shit for the next two years. If you don’t believe in it, you’re screwed.
