Joachim Trier's Cinema of Intimacy The Worst Person in the World, 2021

'A coming-of-age film for grownups who feel like they still haven’t grown up.' Joachim Trier

When do you realise that you are just settling?'  Peter Bradshaw

'Anyone with a history of romantic flakiness will be able to both relate and finally forgive themselves at the same time.' Ammar Kalia

Ecstatic Joy

Psalm 43 “Ecstatic Joy!”

Brooklyn native Ben Seretan (FB - Tumblr - Bandcamp) has finished up his debut solo album and it's a banger. Some would argue that the guitar in modern-day indie 'rock' is dead but Ben & co. completely disagree. Purists will revel in the delightful guitar tones, crunchy licks and wilderness-driven jams. But don't think we're talking Dinosaur Jr. here, Ben possesses a spiritually emotive voice and the album is completely dripping with charm - two tracks predominantly feature instruments belonging to his beloved grandmother and the first single, Light Leaks (listen here!), even features a choir. Music aside, you'd be hard-pressed to find a classier, more lovable dude!

Ben Seretan is now up for pre-order on solid red tapes. There's only 100 copies and, like always, the first 22 orders get screenprinted slipcovers so don't shuffle about! Vinyl hounds can show their support by grabbing the double LP from Ben's Bandcamp page!
