Indie Rock from Benton Crane

Hailing from Boulder in Colorado, Benton Crane is an indie rock artist who takes inspiration from the world around him to blur the lines between reality and fantasy in his storytelling music. Delivering a sound that fuses synth tones into a blend of rock and psychedelic aesthetics, he crafts delicate backdrops for his thoughtful and reflective lyrical songwriting.

As a champion for mental health awareness, he understands better than anyone the need to tune out and escape the sometimes overwhelming world we live in. Seeking to provide such a sanctuary with his music, he offers a dazzling style that transports the listener to dreamy sonic landscapes, even if only for a moment.

Last year he made his introduction with the debut single “Everything We Touch”, followed by sophomore track “A New Dawn” and his first full-length record with Welcome to Paradise. Over the last year since his debut album dropped, he’s been on an artistic path of musical discovery, developing his sound and working on the next chapter of his sonic evolution.

Now he brings us one of his latest works with his new single titled “Nuclear Night”, channeling the sounds of artists such as Arcade Fire, The Flaming Lips and MGMT. Written as an apocalyptic tale of wilful blindness to the current climate crises, with his new song he sets his sights on an important and urgent topic to thread his meaningful lyricism into an epic and euphoric indie rock sound.

Capturing his timeless songwriting style, delivered via his compelling vocal work above a rhythmic energy of piano, guitars and synths, “Nuclear Night” showcases the very best of an exciting new artist with bags of potential.
