Ben Bell Just a beautiful album. As a fellow Southerner, thank you for this! Favorite track: Across The Multiverse (feat. Frankie Cosmos).

Rimbimhoot Title track was the first I heard from this album and has been my go-to. Favorite track: Across The Multiverse (feat. Frankie Cosmos).

FiTZ This is one of the most wonderful musical experiences since Silverchair's "Diorama" and Nicole Atkins' "Neptune City. An album from a young artist that revives sounds of bygone eras when music had STYLE! Rich instrumenstration, emotive melodies and poignant lyrics. There's so much joy in the music, even when he sings of loneliness, unrequited love and existential woes - and there's so much beauty even in the hopeless melancholy of the last bit of this musical masterpiece. Favorite track: Face Down In The Gutter Of Your Love.

about

“Don’t wanna move to Southern California / I wasn’t really meant for LA...” So sang Dent May once upon a time, now he’s eating those words with a side of avocado toast in his new Los Angeles bungalow. What made the lifelong Mississippi boy pull up stakes and head west? “No one looks at you funny if you wear a tuxedo to the supermarket.” What he means is he moved there to shake up his surroundings, clear his head, and write the most accomplished record of his young career, the magical mystery tour de force "Across the Multiverse."

Following the lead of musical-polymaths-with-LA-ties before him like Brian Wilson, Van Dyke Parks, and Harry Nilsson, Dent’s style on "Across the Multiverse" will be familiar to fans of his previous work. Yet there’s something more refined about this collection... Stately strings mingle with boogie piano like old friends. Synths weave a celestial backdrop throughout. Every verse, bridge and chorus in its right place, giving it the unmistakable feel of a true songwriting craftsman at work. Lyrically Dent has never been sharper, musing on themes like modern romance (“Picture on a Screen”, “Face Down in the Gutter of Your Love”), existential dread (“Dream 4 Me”, “I’m Gonna Live Forever Until I’m Dead”), and the distance to the moon (“Distance to the Moon”) as he searches for meaning among the infinite scrolling feeds of our 21st century augmented reality. The title track, a duet with Frankie Cosmos, is a deep space love song about finding love beyond impossible boundaries.

"Across the Multiverse" was written and recorded in a sunny bedroom in LA’s Highland Park neighborhood, with Dent producing and playing nearly every instrument himself. The tracks were selected from dozens of songs written after the LA move, a gold rush of productivity inspired by late nights DJing rare disco funk cuts at local watering holes. It’s his first record for new label Carpark and will be released August 18th.
