Narrated for You

Alec Benjamin

Intimate, high-tenor storytelling that feels like a collection of suburban short stories. Sparse acoustic arrangements meet crisp, modern bedroom-pop production.

Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic, percussive vocal delivery in the verses of 'Outrunning Karma' that mimics a heartbeat.
The devastatingly simple piano melody that anchors the chorus of 'Let Me Down Slowly'.
The way the production swells with cinematic strings during the final chorus of 'If We Have Each Other'.
The conversational, almost spoken-word intimacy of the opening lines in 'Annabelle’s Homework'.
