"Ben Arthur's got the looks and hooks of John Mayer "
Rolling Stone
"The quirky optimism that marked Ben Arthur's album Edible Darling has aged and darkened on his long-awaited second disc Mouthfeel. A slippery disc in sound and meaning...which burrows intimately into love, pain and loss."
National Public Radio
"Ben Arthur croons like Duncan Sheik if he had a pair — shoegazing, cankicking, and remorseful only in retrospect"
CMJ

hi ben. this is about a while ago. you played the north of england at a place called the leopard and i supported you. you may remember some welsh friends of mine making a dummy on the stage whilst you were playing but it was all done in good humour and though the crowd wasnt at its fullest, you and the rest ofus all were all smiling. well im in the studio myself next week and i am really looking forward to it. as always your music is very good but i loved you live. yours from yorkshire. ken perkins.
i love love loved mouthfeel. each song has like 200 plays on my itunes. Its one of the only cd's that i have not used my 100% internet discount on. totally worth it!
hey its the dood that came with the sleepy kid, and the lactose one, added ya, your amazing man really love you <3 heh, i hope to see you again some time your a really interesting person and singer.
So I'm basically in love with your work since I saw your show..except you don't have any of my favorite songs posted on here. :[ You should add some new ones soon. :D
