Product description


In celebration of their latest signing, Erased Tapes are set to re-issue Ben Lukas Boysen's compelling debut album 'Gravity', alongside new album 'Spells'. 'Gravity' was the first album Ben recorded under his own name, merging programmed piano pieces with live instruments, combining the controllable technical world and the often unpredictable aspects of live improvisation. From 'Only In The Dark' to the two movements of 'Nocturne', it's a serious, solemn listen. And yet, with pieces like 'To The Hills' and 'Eos', 'Gravity' is an exploration of heights, cliffs and vertigoes. With piano lines and choir-like drones, this record suits its title in all its meanings, as the magnetic force takes us deeper towards the core. Marking a new beginning, this debut reveals a touching, and more melodic side to Ben's body of work, which he previously only hinted at as HECQ. Friend and fellow Erased Tapes artist Nils Frahm mixed and mastered the album.
