- This album is about the people we miss.
I felt that the first 7 songs from the album worked great as a story so I made them into this short film.

This feels like the culmination of your more experimental post-Jelly Mound music and I absolutely love every second of it. Hash yet beautiful, experimental yet catchy, abstract and profound. Thank you Ben for all of your incredible music, I can't wait to hear what comes next
That's amazing, you're so knowledgeable about my stuff and it's so cool to read this!
It is my biggest dream to one day make something that makes people feel the way this made me feel. Thank you, Ben.
I know you can do it
I don’t usually comment, but I wanted to say thank you for this. You are probably one of the musicians that most inspire me. I'm always amazed by your creativity.
That's amazing thank you so much! I hope you have a lot of creative fun times this year!
the production on this album is next-next-next-next level. insane.
Starting Over is a bop an a half.
LOL the subsurface scattering broke the computer 4:52
You did it again Ben, what a wonderful beginning of 2024 music! Thank you, thank you, thank you
I can’t believe it’s possible to churn out such beautiful work with such frequency.
You are a true inspiration, Ben!
i am so happy for you man
I absolutely adore how these music videos really lean into the artifatcs of their medium. Most notably, how sections appear to be rendered at a deliberately low sample count to ramp up the "splotchiness" of denoising. Such a brilliantly creative use of limitations.
I love how the denoising and motion blur makes things impressionistic in blender!
i don't know what i like the most here but i have to say this movie have something special , its hiting me deep , Thank you Ben for expressing yourself here .
I'm completely blown away.
Wonderful album, Wonderful movie! I can't wait for the video game.
haha that's a cool idea
I offer this comment to the algorithm gods as thanks for these vibrations and pixels. Amen.
some of the most incredible visuals i have ever seen
Gah damn, this is all fantastic, and Ticks in particular is just so incredibly up my alley, experimental and novel in a way that is still digestible, I can imagine there are tons more people out there who would appreciate how special this is and I hope they manage to find it
Yes.
incredible
can't wait to sit down and watch this when I have time to absorb it fully.
commenting for the algorithm gods though (dystopia).
I was listening to the album late last night, and I was thinking the entire time about how a music video for any of the songs would be amazing.
Well, what a fantastic thing to wake up to. Constantly inspiring, Ben.
I love making music videos!
"My Time" sounds SO like a The 1975 song! I love it. :)
I don't even want to think about how many hours this must have taken.
I am overwhelmed. Your music and your animation is incredible. I feel like I'll start to have more specific thoughts after I've watched a few more times.
your artistic expression is my inspiration!
if i make something half as amazing as this i'll die peaceful
Thank you!
Hey Ben, just wanted to say that the visuals for this bad boy were STUNNING. I’m consistently blown away by how quickly you improved your craft in that space and how effectively you were able to translate that into creating deeply moving art. Thanks for making this ☺️
Would love to have this as an album with individual tracks on youtube music!
finally got a chance to watch this... i think this is my favorite album from you yet. it just hits perfectly for where i am in life right now.
Ben this is a masterpiece. Thank you.
Great stuff Ben
Great, it is like Beatles and Modern Ben ! I love it, thanks a lot.
We all sitting in a yellow submarine.
For me this is a raw and beautiful representation of examining liminal space sonically, lyrically and visually. Well done. A good companion for my insomnia. Thanks for making art, Ben!
Your lyrics have a really lovely poetry to them without feeling very opaque. It's something I wish I was able to accomplish with my music, but I struggle when it comes to lyric-writing.
Great music, wild video, the amount of effort that went into the visuals boggles my mind
Ben never fails to make me FEEL, crazy how he keeps coming up with more of these
Thanks Ben, This is truly epic😊
This is the best (most important) thing on the internet right now. You’re doing God’s work. Thank you 💗🤍🫡
Ben and Jess' art means so much to me! Thank you for being you XXX
PS, I'm waiting until Bandcamp Friday to buy this (Feb 2nd) because that's just the kind of guy I am XXX
same here, I'm such a big fan, I wanna shout it out loud!
Beautiful, heavy and moving. Thank you!
this album is so dope ❤🔥
A work of love and joy!
This was incredible. Probably my favorite of these album movies you've made yet.
I've seen them all....and when this one started, the first song, I was like....ok, I think I get what the vibe is. Seems fine. But then, over the next 27 minutes, it was one mind blowing musical idea after another. The first song tricked me into thinking I knew what to expect. Ha! I'll never make that mistake again lol. Your creative perspective is fascinating to me Ben. I'm so glad you're in a creatively fertile period....I find you and your approach to art incredibly inspiring.
wow you gave it all with this album thank you for making it happen I really enjoyed it
Man, you just always have a way to hook me throughout the songs, it’s like there’s always an anchor in the experimental aspect and it’s soooo relatable too.
I’m still crying listening to The Hotel… but someone loves me still gave me a second run at it 😂. You are very special to me in my musical journey!
Couldn't possibly ask for a better review than that! Thank you!
@@BenLevin love you Ben (and Jessica), I can’t wait for the future content!
You have a real talent for surreal visuals, it is very inspiring
Damn good stuff!!
Hooray!
Ben, as always your work is incredible! I'll be watching this again in the future!
Your music videos are pretty much always of the variety that significantly adds to the music they're accompanying. It feels a little bit emptier to listen to the songs normally after seeing something like this. Could be shown at a festival or something.
JUST came up on some new headphones, was lookin for something to test em out, this was such a treat, some bananas production
This is amazing!! I LOVE the visuals; the colours are all so appealing to the eye and I love how you paired it with the music. Congrats and don’t ever stop making what you love because it’s always so full of life ❤🎉!!!
incredible work of art wow. chills. the depth of emotion and sense of scale in the music combines so seamlessly with the surreal visuals. thank u for sharing ✨
that was a moving journey, thanks ben.
God damn that was beautiful, these album movies are some of my favorite videos on CZcams
Omg new Ben Levin album movie!!!!
I absolutely adore this, fantastic job Ben
I absolutely love the main riff, tone, and overall production on Starting Over! (starts at 6:26)
best artist with fingers
Thanks!
So beautiful Ben!! Amazing performances by all. I really really enjoyed this.
Top Top Top! :)
This is really great, Ben!
Listened to the album this morning and then this! Thank you for being such a hard working and dedicated musician.
I think you should do a live/unplugged version, warts and all, straight to stereo, no overdubbing or tweaking 🖖
I wish I had an appreciation for such things. My brain is too linear to understand this kind of art. What I can say is, it’s unique.
I think understanding this is sort of like looking at clouds and letting your mind wander. You don't need to understand everything or anything in concrete terms. It's meant to be experienced more like tasting food than reading a book
@@BenLevin my autistic brain always needs to find a reason for things, and art doesn’t need a reason to exist it just is. Thanks for reminding me of this.
I wasn’t going to comment but thank you.
How long did it take to render those caustics in the water at 00:59? so cool
🫶🏼
Man, I really miss Jelly mound era Ben, Bent knee Ben, even Freak Machine Ben. I feel like he's doing so much now that sounds weird just to be weird. There are some real gems here though and I'm glad I spent some time here.
