LOWER

Benjamin Booker

A murky, beat-driven pivot into nocturnal art-rock. Gritty boom-bap rhythms meet tape-saturated guitars in a haunting exploration of urban isolation.

January 24, 2025 · Not On Label (Benjamin Booker Self-released)

A heavy, nocturnal meditation on isolation that finds a strange, gritty beauty in the shadows.

Moments Worth Listening For

the way the boom-bap rhythm on 'LWA IN THE TRAILER PARK' clashes against the hazy, dream-pop guitar wash

the cinematic, five-minute slow burn of 'SAME KIND OF LONELY' that feels like a modern noir theme

the sudden intrusion of corroded, distorted noise that disrupts the otherwise skeletal piano on 'HEAVY ON MY MIND'
