Watch the video to dive into its raw energy. Watch the video below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New Album Alert:<\/strong><br>The highly anticipated album \u2018Constant Noise\u2019 is put now via Invada Records. Building on the success of their 2023 debut, \u2018NAILS,\u2019 Benefits have evolved into a two-piece powerhouse. Vocalist Kingsley Hall and electronic maestro Robbie Major now explore darker, bass-driven soundscapes that mix danceable rhythms with industrial vibes. This bold reinvention has already stirred up a storm among fans and the music press alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Behind the Music:<\/strong><br>Recorded just last night on BBC Radio 6 Music by Huw Stephens, <em>Blame<\/em> captures the sound of a pulsing dancefloor with propulsive bass lines reminiscent of Underworld. In a stirring monologue, Hall addresses the distortions of modern media discourse. Reflecting on the track, he recalls, \u201c<em>Robbie sent me an mp3 one Friday night and it was incredible. The demo was chopped, lyrics added on, and by midnight it was pretty much complete. We passed it to James Welsh, who worked his magic\u2014and just like that, it all clicked. There\u2019s a bit of Leftfield, a dash of Trainspotting, and even a hint of pop; it\u2019s all there. Hope you like it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Visual Experience:<\/strong><br>The song comes with a captivating video shot under the cover of night with local filmmaker John Kirkbride, featuring Martin Fox. Watch the video, share it with friends, or stream the track to immerse yourself in the visuals and sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4Awe7QIwd3w?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Tour &amp; In-Store Events:<\/strong><br>In tandem with the album release, Benefits kick off a series of intimate in-store performances tomorrow, paving the way for their UK tour in April 2025.
