Mutual Benefit share new songs ‘Come To Pass’ and ‘Shedding Skin’
The tracks are taken from upcoming album ‘Thunder Follows The Light’.
Mutual Benefit has shared two new tracks! ‘Come To Pass’ and ‘Shedding Skin’ are taken from his upcoming album ‘Thunder Follows The Light’ due for release on 21st September via Transgressive.
Mutual Benefit’s Jordan Lee said of the tracks:
“’Come to Pass’ is a refutation of the idea that there was ever a golden age to return back to. Both personally and politically I’m afraid of this sort of constructed nostalgia that keeps us looking backwards instead of a having a powerful enough imagination to see the hard truths of the present but work towards a better future.”
“With ‘Shedding Skin’, I kept thinking about a town where I saw hundreds of these translucent cicada bodies from where they had clung to a tree, hardened, and then burst out of their own shell. This ghostly sight made me pay more attention to how things naturally regenerate, how loss is part of the fuel of growth. It became a powerful reminder that things shouldn’t stay the same, including parts of ourselves.”
Listen to ‘Come To Pass’ and ‘Shedding Skin’ below.
