Description
Skip A Sinking Stone, by Mutual Benefit (aka Jordan Lee), is released via Transgressive Records.
This new album is a two-part meditation on impermanence that also acts as a portrait of growing up. Mutual Benefits work has been praised as being vulnerable and warmhearted. This release has a similar sensibility, patiently built from carefully chosen lines illustrated by lush astral folk and intricately composed arrangements that manage to appear effortless.
I kept coming back to how nice that was, throwing these stones against the water, says Lee. I thought it was a fitting metaphor for the endeavours I have in my life sometimes they work out and sometimes they dont. I think its a good exercise in accepting impermanence and failure and these things that are constant, and yet the activity of skipping stones is really relaxing and beautiful. Each stone ultimately sinks but, as Lee sings on the albums zenith, as the cycle ends and repeats again, all we can do is maintain the hope that its Not For Nothing.
