I’d like to announce and invite you into the world of our next album “Growing at the Edges” with the first single/video “Little Ways”. ‘Growing At The Edges’ is the first studio album in half a decade from Jordan Lee’s Mutual Benefit. It ranks as Lee’s most sonically diverse record ever, making all manner of genres from classical music to Americana submissive to his template, with his backing band made up of members of Baroness (heavy metal) to Andy Shauf’s band (indie-folk) by way of illustrating this diversity.
This song is about admiring the weeds along with the flowers and never fails to cheer me up. A big shout-out to Gabriel Birnbaum for co-producing and being on the whole journey with me.
The video was shot/directed by Vidhu Kota and is an ode to the trash and treasure (and turtles!) of prospect park in Brooklyn.
