The Beauty is a love letter to the beauty in this world and in our lives. Songwriter and vocalist Stephen Williams sings to the mystery of the wild and reminisces on a childhood spent amongst dusty pale horses and Georgia pines. A harmonic symposium, every inch of this record is dressed with layers upon layers of carefully crafted overtures and runways. His unalloyed vocal tone-as ever, the signature element to his work.

Jude Moses, comprised of Willams and his collaborators, Jesse Proctor, Shae Wooten, and Kevin Smith each have their own musical careers and creative ventures, but in this project they come together with a shared passion for attention to detail and craft in the studio. Recorded in Seattle, Washington and Charlotte, North Carolina, co-produced by Proctor and Williams, this is Jude Moses' second record and a follow-up to their debut record We Won't Die, released in 2015. This six song album invites listeners to explore the expanse of this world and traverse the fragile earth in a new light. This is perhaps summed up best in, The Multicolored Beast, where Williams writes "I want to see the beauty of the world with you". The record is laden with tales of friendship, a hope for oneness and deep longing for the restoration of all things.

Benton

Formed in 2019, Benton is a Charlotte based new wave-synth-pop project headed by Jonathan Hussey, who is stepping out from his usual spot behind the drum kit (for bands like Fortune Teller, Siege Hardee, BASSH). Crafting vibey dance songs that anyone into Talking Heads, New Order, and War On Drugs would be stoked on, Jon puts it simply “I just like synths and drums and I want everyone to hear them.”

Benton’s newest single “On My Own“ comes out May 24, 2024.
