“Inspired by Tracy Morgan, Vic Fontaine and true events in The City That Never Sleeps” – 1010 Benja SL
Today 1010 Benja SL releases a new single ‘Woodrow’ via Young Turks / Remote Control. Following last month’s release of the ingressing minimal r&b song ‘Dobby,’ 1010 calls ‘Woodrow’: “…nostalgia Jazz music for listening to while watching Starlink satellites,” harking at “the therapeutic madness that becomes available to a person who is truly lost and alone.”
Recorded with his father (a gospel pianist and minister from Flint, Michigan), ‘Woodrow’ blends together an uncomfortable conflict of spiritual emotions, non-sequitur stress points and snapshots of mental un-health which Benja calls: “the sound of living under the city.”
Having seemingly come out of nowhere with his release of the generatively perplexing song ‘Boofiness’ in 2017, 1010 Benja SL immediately earned whispered curiosity and intrigue from some of the biggest voices in music. Followed by the emotional 2018 single ‘Wind Up Space’ and the six-track Two Houses EP, 1010 Benja SL continues to develop his emotionally direct yet cognitively nebulous style with ‘Woodrow.’
