American artist Benjamin Booker has shared new single ‘Same Kind Of Lonely’.
The songwriter’s new album ‘Lower’ is out on January 24th via Fire Next Time Records, with Benjamin Booker co-producing the record alongside Kenny Segal.
New single ‘Same Kind Of Lonely’ is out now, a punchy piece of songwriting that matches its innate energy and vigour to lyrics that dig into the meaning of our existence.
The track comes equipped with a video that captures the song’s energy. He comments…
I was thinking a lot about existence and the natural world—how things that start off so beautiful are often twisted into something unsettling or sinister. Maybe the disconnect between the natural state of things and the modified state of things is the source of a lot of pain, suffering and loneliness in the world.
For this video, one of the things we were interested in looking at is our twisting and distortion of ourselves and the world. The co-director, Gerry Cisneros, and I tried to express this idea through visuals—slowly turning algae on a lake into digital needles or having eyes appear in trees. We wanted to take nature and find ways to manipulate it. We were inspired by Haitian Vodou ceremonies, the paintings of Paul Gaugin, Ben Wheatley’s A Field in England, and Andrei Tarkovsky.
Tune in now.
