Benjamin Booker - Lower

Limited clear vinyl LP pressing. The last place you'll find Benjamin Booker is where he was yesterday. Following two critically acclaimed albums marked by his signature fuzzy americana-inspired garage rock and soul sound, world tours, and opening slots with the likes of Jack White, Tame Impala, and Neil Young... he disappeared. I wanted to get to this sound, but I didn't know how. At some point I decided I'm going to find it or die trying. He spent years tinkering in a loft near Skid Row in Los Angeles before ending up across the globe in Perth, Australia. Trading stems via email, Booker crafted his third album with LA underground hip-hop mastermind Kenny Segal. The new album, LOWER, mixes experimental hip hop, dream and noise pop, and singer-songwriter music into something that is entirely his own. Through the changes, Booker's lyrical exploration of pain and longing have been persistent.
