Benjamin Booker has announced Lower, his first album in seven years.The New Orleans soul-rocker produced it with Kenny Segal (Armand Hammer, billy woods), and today he’s sharing a preview with the oozing lead single “LWA IN THE TRAILER PARK.” “I felt particularly connected to Paul Schrader’s work making this album,” Booker says about the song’s music video.
“Like several of his movies, I wanted to look at a troubled character on the edge, reaching for transcendence.Now that I’m working on a series of connected videos, Schrader has had an influence in that arena as well, along with Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samourai and Charles Burnett’s Killer Of Sheep.” Along with the LP announce, he shared tour dates.
