Taken from his debut album, Veda, the up-and-coming alt-indie crooner, Benjamin Dean’s single, Sinking Our Teeth (Into the Fruit Again), is a lesson in hedonistic prolepsis.
After the opulent instrumental aesthetics have constructed a glisteningly atmospheric tone, Benjamin Dean’s soul-deep vocal lines start to wrap around the lyrics that illustrate how sweet forbidden fruit is when you’re anticipating the nectarine bliss.
Contrasting the teasing intensity of the lyricality, the ambience resonates like a Dionysus daydream; as scintillating as a candelabra under the moonlight, Sinking Our Teeth is an arrestive example of how experimentalism and deep concepts don’t always need to be hand in hand with inaccessibility. Slipping into the impassioned style of this celestial soundscape is as easy as breathing.
Sinking Our Teeth (Into the Fruit Again) is now available to stream on Spotify.
