Thunder follows the light

"His third full-length set of bucolic fairydom, Thunder Follows the Light confirms Jordan Lee's status as a leading architect of musical escapism via his collaborative project Mutual Benefit. Cover art depicting light flares goes a long way in communicating the disarming, hypnotic nature of textures that combine instruments such as synthesizers, banjo, bass clarinet, and field recordings, just for starters".

"For Lee, romantic and even fantastical idealism has long been a means to parse his inner demons. But when those demons become too large for charming poetics, beatific melodies and jangling orchestral compositions fail to rise to the occasion".

"Thunder Follows The Light, the ninth album from Jordan Lee's project, Mutual Benefit, serves as a still point, a breath of sanity, a meditation. It's the rare album that manages to soothe and calm without burying its head in the sand-like a guided meditation through the reality of living in today's world".
