BenBen is enchanting listeners with his new EP, 'White Elephant', a collaboration with artist Lily Desmond. Both prominent figures in New York City’s indie scene, their partnership blossomed out of adversity, marking a significant evolution in their musical careers.

The EP opens with the genre-blurring track ‘Leaky Ship,’ setting the stage with its mesmerizing blend of folk-inspired melodies and synthetic textures. This enchanting opener quickly gained traction, amassing over 22,000 streams in its first month alone. From there, BenBen and Lily Desmond navigate through a rich tapestry of sound, culminating in the hard-hitting, rock-infused conclusion of ‘Sunniest Sentiments.’
Their collaborative journey began amidst the turmoil surrounding BenBen’s debut album, ‘Sincere Gifts,’ which required last-minute revisions just weeks before its release. Finding solace and creative synergy in each other, BenBen and Lily embarked on a musical exploration that led to the creation of ‘White Elephant.’ This EP serves as a testament to their resilience and shared artistic vision, offering a musical sanctuary for those navigating life’s challenges, particularly those grappling with anxiety.
