"Benedict" comes off Slightly Odway, the debut album Australian alternative rockers Jebediah released through Murmur in September 1997, after sessions at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne that ran from March to May that year. All four members share the music credit, Chris Daymond, Kevin Mitchell, Vanessa Thornton and Kevin's older brother Brett, while Kevin wrote the words on his own. On the album that lineup means Daymond on lead guitar, Kevin singing and playing rhythm guitar, Thornton on bass and Brett on drums.
Neill King, the British producer with the Smiths, Madness and Elvis Costello on his résumé, produced, engineered and mixed the track, with David Davis assisting at every stage. As for that album title, music writer Ed Nimmervoll read it as a nod to the slightly odd way the band go about life and music alike.
