OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEOS
The two official videos from The Family Tree: The Leaves tell the stories of two different characters but run on parallel timelines, both prisoners of sorts trying to escape their oppressive surroundings. Watch how their worlds collide below.
“THE ROAD TO NOWHERE”
“EVERYTHING COSTS”
The Family Tree: The Leaves (March 2016) brings to a close an unprecedented musical journey that began in the back shed of Ben’s family home in Jacksonville, FL nearly 10 years ago, and solidifies him as a unique and prolific storyteller. Having always been interested in stories surrounding multi-generational family sagas, Ben embarked on a series of “Family Tree” albums, which trace the fantastical lives of a 19th century family, The Northcotes. Certain melodic patterns are used to represent certain family members, and those melodic patterns mutate and are passed down from generation to generation. This last installment continues the narrative of The Northcotes, offering a polished, textured sound entirely crafted by Ben, who plays nearly all the instruments on the album. His DIY-ethic, which was forged in the early days with a four-track in his family’s back shed, has evolved into a lushly orchestrated album.
