The long awaited announcement of Jinnwoo’s (aka Ben Webb) debut album has finally happened, we can expect ‘Strangers Bring Me To Light’ 2nd September via GFM Records.
The album has been described by Ben as “Autobiographical” and is covered in a waterfall of emotions from his own personal life during his 20’s, Webb explains, “Lyrically, it’s mostly about losing my dad, and relationships I was having whilst writing the record. There is a sort of ongoing contrast between wanting my dad back in my life, and wanting other people in my life to be gone. I write about my health, and think about religion. I was working a lot of things out whilst writing the album, and I think there is that sort of confused fog of your 20’s hanging over the whole record.”
In addition to the announcement Jinnwoo was kind enough to share the album titled track, a truly unique and haunting psych-folk number that is strangely alluring.
