Jordan Lee, aka Mutual Benefit, has announced a new album called Thunder Follows the Light, set to be out on September 21st via Transgressive. In anticipation of the album release, the project shared two new songs, “New History” and “Storm Cellar Heart.” Listen below.
“I think people in power benefit greatly from a general lack of historic memory in the United States,” Lee explained “New History” in a statement. “I’ve been wondering if the first step in imagining a more just world is to study our history better, not just the linear revisionist one that is oft-repeated but all the unsung champions of equal rights as well as the acts of unthinkable cruelty that humans are also capable of.”
