Ben Vince, a saxophonist and composer who has collaborated with a wide range of artists from Mica Levi, Joy Orbison, and Coby Sey to Astrid Sonne, Rat Heart, and Sugai Ken, has become a key figure in the London experimental scene. AD 93", Ben Vince has released his first full-fledged solo album in six years, "Street Druid". The sound is at once graceful, psychedelic, and ferocious. Experimentality and sensuality, urbanity and spirituality coexist in just under 45 minutes.
Track List

Ben Vince has released solo works on <Where To Now? On this album, he works mostly alone, using saxophone, synths, his own voice, guitar, and a drum machine to fuse acoustic, processed, and electronic sounds. The album also features Moses Boyd, a Mercury Prize-nominated drummer and one of the most important jazz drummers in the UK. The track is driven by horns used as looping material, distorted beats, and dubwise basslines, with an emphasis on repetition and mood-building, and the horn phrases intertwine with each other in a leisurely fashion. The music ranges from powerful jams with a street vibe to gentle, almost lullaby-like tracks. Street Druids Walk the Night." (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
