After the successful reception of his previous singles "Angela," "Home Alone," and "Walking," the talented Los Angeles-based artist BEN SCOTT returns to shake up the independent music scene with a new and exciting release.
This time, he’s raising the stakes with a new release that compiles some of his most recent work along with two brand-new, unreleased tracks.
"Wilting Flowers" is the title of his new EP, which, through its five tracks and a total duration of 11 minutes and 29 seconds, offers a carefully curated selection of songs, creating an auditory experience that will not only delight even the most discerning listeners but also provides a profound moment of reflection on the simple yet essential act of learning to let go of what ties us to the past in order to finally free ourselves and continue moving forward.
This intriguing premise on which the album develops makes even more sense in the complex current social landscape, where nostalgia is ever-present and seems to be a theme that many are struggling with these days. Each of the songs that make up "Wilting Flowers" tackles the theme of overcoming obstacles and emotional difficulties from various perspectives, ranging from heartbreak, disillusionment, fear, and loneliness, to the resilience and strength we must rely on during turbulent times.
However, the greatness of this new release is not limited to the two new tracks, "Wilting Flowers" and "Gentle Hands", which debut in BEN SCOTT's discography as a true surprise. What truly makes this album special is the diversity of sonic textures each song offers, as well as the incredible fusion of sounds that characterizes each one of them.
In this way, each piece exudes a completely distinctive and unique energy, while at the same time maintaining the authentic essence that characterizes this young, talented musician and composer. From the harmonious melodies of "Wilting Flowers", the track that opens the album, to the calm and introspective vibe of "Home Alone", the sensual touch of "Gentle Hands", and the full euphoria and power of "Angela", each of these tracks immerses us in a sonic journey that keeps you engaged from start to finish.
Both the recording and production processes of the album were carried out by the artist himself, who played all the instruments. However, on this occasion, he joined forces with Billy Gardena, a highly skilled audio engineer, who took care of refining the final details to bring the album to its full brilliance.
"Wilting Flowers" EP, officially released on September 20, 2024, marks BEN SCOTT's seventh official installment and his fourth consecutive release this year, solidifying its place as a valuable addition to his impressive discography. Fans of bands like Peach Pit, Arctic Monkeys, and The Strokes will recognize certain echoes in his sound and are sure to enjoy this new offering.
