Ben LaMar Gay – Downtown Castles Can Never Block The Sun
You can always count on International Anthem to deliver first class eclectic music. The solo debut album from Ben LaMar Gay spans music compiled from 7 albums, he made over the last 7 years but never made an effort to release. Taking in everything from Bossa Nova, ambient jazz, electro-funk and free-spirited psych Gay weaves an intricate patchwork of sounds. This album is something very special.
