Benton Crane is back, and boy oh boy, does he bring the heat with his latest single, “Until the Colors Fade”! This Boulder, Colorado based singer and storyteller is kicking off the year with a message we all need to hear in these tumultuous times, and he’s doing it with a sound that’ll make your ears sing.
We were honoured to have the opportunity to share his release, ‘Nuclear Night’ in November. You can read the article here.
With this EP-style single, Benton is leaning into dissociation music while remaining true to his psych-rock and art-rock roots. The song was created to give solace to those who are feeling mentally overwhelmed, and it’s a gentle reminder to take the moments needed to unplug and just exist. The colorful song depicts battles against inner demons like addiction, anxiety, and depression and serves as another song in the artist’s growing catalog that allows listeners to lean into the music in times of self-doubt.
The acoustic guitar is crisp and the track is filled with nostalgic feel, as the atmosphere builds up into a soundscape filled with stunning vocal harmonies that set sail. It’s a song that’s bound to transport you to a place where everything feels just a little bit better. The track was mastered by Alex Johnston at Grand Northern Recording Studio to heighten the experience behind the song for listeners.
Benton Crane’s message throughout the single is about embracing small moments of dissociation to make it through. He says, “Coping with the world through dissociation and derealization is sometimes what the mind needs to make it to fight another day.”
If you’re a fan of psychedelic rock, abstract art, and thoughtful, easy-listening music, you’re in for a treat with Benton Crane.
In short, Benton Crane’s “Until the Colors Fade” is a must-listen for anyone who needs a little bit of solace in their life. It’s a song that’ll make you feel a little bit better, even if just for a few minutes, and that’s something we can all use right now. So go ahead, press play, and escape into the soundscape of Benton Crane’s “Until the Colors Fade”.
