Those of you that have heard our Skyjelly/Solilians split may recognize the name in that headline. Yes, Ben is the man behind Solilians, a collective of Jewish mystics and space pop/drone explorers and he’s also heading Goodbye Better label.
Outside of music, Ben also got an incredible insight into Radical Jewish culture, New York’s ambient/drone scene (of which he’s a part of) and numerous other topics. Collected here are 10 articles he wrote for Perfect Sound Forever that demonstrate the depths of the said insight, so read up and/or check out a recent interview Weirding (bornwithhair) did with Solilians!
