In the four years since Benson's last full length album, The Alternative to Love, he has been quite busy. His band with Jack White, The Raconteurs, has released two albums in this time frame. As for his own music, Benson has been leaking demos on his myspace page since 2007, most of which became My Old, Familiar Friend.
The power pop of the pre-Raconteurs Brendan Benson is still very present on this latest album, and sometimes overwhelming on tracks like "Eyes on the Horizon" and "Garbage Day" - of course you could even say the same about "Don't Wanna Talk" and it has become my favorite track on the album.
