Benjamin Booker announces his first new album in seven years, LOWER

While his previous releases dabbled in fuzzy americana-inspired garage rock and 70’s glam, LOWER presents a grittier and raw sound that Booker had been searching for for years while digging into niche music scenes and ultimately filtering them through his unique pop lens.

“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.” Booker credits co-producer Kenny Segal as instrumental to this search, trading stems via email while Booker was in Australia. “Kenny was the missing piece I needed – he fills in all of my gaps. I don’t know what I’ll do next, but if I can imagine it, I can do it now.”

LOWER marks the first release on Booker’s new label, Fire Next Time Records, and his first co-production of his solo work. The album follows his 2017 release, Witness.
