Features Do It Anyway and nine more new songs from Ben Folds Five

In 2011, the original three members of Ben Folds Five came together to record three new studio tracks for The Best Imitation Of Myself: A Retrospective, a career-spanning Ben Folds anthology. With the bands magic rekindled while making the new tracks, Ben Folds Five gave its first concert in more than a decade to a spellbound audience at New York s Mountain Jam Festival on June 2, 2012. Now, Ben Folds Five return with The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind, the groups first album of new music since 1999. Rolling Stone magazine says: All that time off hasnt detracted a bit from quirky geek appeal of the bands signature piano-driven alt-rock. On Draw a Crowd, the groups cheeky sense of humor rides strong, with Folds singing, If youre feeling small and you cant draw a crowd/ Draw dicks on a wall, with grinning confidence. Though theyre getting older, their attitude from their early days still shines through.
