MUTUAL BENEFIT STORM CELLAR HEART

Boston-based Transgressive signee Mutual Benefit (aka Jordan Lee) has just announced that his second album Thunder Follows The Light will arrive this September. We're suspecting a theme emerging as the album's first offering 'Storm Cellar Heart' takes inspiration from a huge Storm that Lee witnessed in New England. Contrary to the sheer power of mother nature's wrath, 'Storm Cellar Heart', is fragile and endearing. Guided be Lee's almost MGMT-esque vocals, stunning chord progressions are played masterfully on the piano, as heart-wrenching strings bring a cinematic quality to the mix. There's a timelessness about this track, which echoes the genius of Simon and Garfunkel's darker works. Mutual Benefit has truly mastered the art of orchestral folk and we can't wait to hear what's next. -Holly Mullineaux.
