Moody, instrumental, melodic, complex. Perfect for pondering. Entrances you and sends you spiraling into depression, only to end with you wondering where the time went and why you're so content.

Details:
This album is comprised of the best of the musical discharges our masked marauder has freed over the last year. Every song represents a point in his life from the mega-sultry âSweet Lovemakingâ to the obnoxious yet strangely gratifying âHappy Birthday.â For every bleak, evil moment there is one of pure bliss and unadulterated sweetness. And for every ten of those there is one of oddity. It is largely unpredictable but with a common vein throughout. That uniting vein is sheer musicality, keeping the album from becoming just background noise as the moods shift. The entire creation as a whole can be described as nothing but engaging.

But who is the man/boy behind this proverbial mask? Who is responsible for this musical realization of fate? The world should never know. He occupies that introspective, semisweet space that abuses severity and remains fundamentally beautiful. Taking inspiration from the elegance of dissonance while taking advantage of the intensity of sparseness, he blends the dark with the dawn, the stark with the rich. The subject is Bennett Sodergren. He was born in California in 1988. He lives in California today.

The album has been released to major acclaim from his parents, friends, loved ones and acquaintances alike. In the words of a music connoisseur and close friend, â[Track five] Dragonkick II is so ridiculously cool!â Ridiculously cool, indeed.
