Mutual Benefit's anticipated return finds Jordan Lee in the wake of a breakout album (2013 release Love's Crushing Diamond) and trying to make sense of it all: Love, dreams, growing up. Working again with a cast of collaborators, Lee refines the sound that defined Diamond—delicate, cinematic swells of guitar and strings—while lyrically navigating life both on the road and during a time of transition residing at Brooklyn's Silent Barn. "A most affecting puzzle," confirms Gold Flake Paint. "One of the year's most captivating releases."
