_stretts Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 So sometimes I like to go on bandcamp and go to the best selling vinyl releases section and pick out random records to check out. Sometimes I stumble on good stuff, sometimes terrible stuff. This is an example of a good find I landed on. The album only has one track streaming at the moment, the 7 and a half minute light leaks - it floored me, such beautiful guitar, a fragile voice and toward the end the intricacies and details really hit hard in the feels. Pre-order here: https://benseretan.bandcamp.com/ October 28 release date *edit*Found a video for one of the tracks on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
music Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Sweet, listening now https://www.facebook.com/benseretan/posts/784245188305266 In addition to the 8 songs that make up "Ben Seretan," I'm also releasing over an hour of bonus material on Tuesday. The tape version of "Ben Seretan" includes a piece called "Costa Mesa Plays Itself," a 53-minute organ drone dedicated to the wonders of my hometown in California. It'll be available online, too, and it features an insanely beautiful and minimal comic by the mighty talent MJ Robinson, posted here: https://www.facebook.com/benseretan/photos/a.289722844424172.68855.162776873785437/784342401628878/?type=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

music Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Snagged this. Sounds good, looks good, hoping most tracks are good. https://www.facebook.com/benseretan/photos/pb.162776873785437.-2207520000.1414375506./766236036772848/?type=1&theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_stretts Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Released today, album is phenomenal - stream it full on his bandcamp. Dude is super nice too, he has purposefully lowered international shipping to expose his music overseas. I bought a couple of his other albums in digital form to make up for him taking a loss on shipping this thing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_stretts Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Received this gem today. First disc is more pink/dark green swirl, second LP is yellow inside coke bottle green. Included a super poster and hand written note from Ben. This is the type of artist that is so easy to support - so hard working but takes the time to acknowledge your support for the record. The album is fucking amazing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 This is why I love VC and Bandcamp. Finding these awesome gems. First track didn't do much, so skipped, but second song is incredibly good. And fifteen dollars for a 2LP? For a 2LP????? I'll gladly support this magnificent man and his gorgeous beard. Ordered.

He seems like such a good guy. I threw him a little message as well, saying how he should be more well known and stuff. I hope to receive a handwritten note as well, but I'll just be glad to have this record. Judging on "Light Leaks," I'm sure it won't disappoint.
