Ben Vince - Street Druid

Saxophonist and producer Ben Vince announces the release of his sixth album, Street Druid, the first in almost six years via AD 93. The record is set to be released on 20th February, and Vince offers a glimmer into his rhythmically orientated record with the release of single (Ride A) Wave alongside the announcement on 14th January.

Street Druid merges acoustic, manipulated, and electronic sound. It has saxophone, synth, voice, guitars, and drum machine, and features drum kit from Moses Boyd. It features artwork by Byzantia Harlow. It is at once tender, psychedelic, and fierce. It is not interested in genre or category. It lasts just under 45 minutes.

A prelude to the future, hands join to cast a peace spell. Consciousness is vast water seeking divine essence and meaning where colours merge and refract. The street druid walks through the night, a benevolence in the darkness, guiding you home. Immersed in noise, life can feel empty, like hollow vessels — a sentient interlude. At times we are found in Gaia’s rhythm, kinetic and rebuilt, transcending through the impact of sound on the body. Every moment is a new change, a new challenge, a new life; we must ride the wave if we are not to be caught adrift or drown. Trying to keep hope intact, we must not retreat into fear, recognise we all live here in Longville, and stop the fire before it engulfs us all.
