Washington, D.C.-based rock band Bencoolen will celebrate the release of their debut album, Daydream, when the 10-song LP arrives independently tomorrow, March 8th. Ahead of the album’s Friday release, the band has decided to share the new project with their fans a day early, as Daydream is now available to be streamed exclusively here on Live For Live Music.
The album, which can be heard in full below, features a mix of strong rock performances from the young band, which were captured during their recording sessions at Dragon’s Lair Studios in West Virginia. The band’s drummer, Ben Suarez, detailed his thoughts on the process of their first album cycle in a statement, saying:
“We were really thrilled at the chance to go record a full-length album in the West Virginia hills. Not a lot of people are putting out full albums right now in rock music, but we wanted to showcase our songwriting versatility. Rock, pop, blues and soul influences intermingle on the album, carried by punchy vocals and shredding solos. We had contributions from everyone, and debut songwriting credits for Jack and me.
Dragon’s Lair Studios is a hidden gem, tucked away on an unpaved road with no neighbors in earshot. Producer Addison Smith and owner Chuck “C-Wired” Whyard made us feel right at home. Jack [Bentsen, Saxophone]] fell in love with Cleo the studio cat, and we cut like 5-6 of the tracks that first night. We were all so stoked to be there and didn’t want to stop tracking!
We’ve been sharing some of these songs on the road for some time now, and the reaction has been incredible. The anthemic chorus on ‘Daydream’ is sure to rile up any party, and the layers and layers of biting guitars throughout displayed our weeklong motto of ‘More is More.’”
