Rebirth of Venus

2009 release, the seventh album from the Australian singer/songwriter. The Rebirth of Venus was produced by Brad Wood, who also produced Ben's breakout Awake Is The New Sleep (as well as his critically acclaimed debut Grandpaw Would and sophomore album Something To Remember Me By). Other musicians who appear on the album include Missy Higgins, Cary Brothers, Patience Hodgson of The Grates, John Alagia (producer of Ripe) and longtime collaborators and musicians Lara Meyerratken and Nic Johns. A portion of proceeds from albums sold will be donated to FINCA's Village Banking program. FINCA offers financial services, not charity, to the world's lowest-income women entrepreneurs. This creates jobs, builds assets and generally improves the standard of living in these destitute communities.
