King of Bitter Sorrow

by Ben Lorentzen

about

Here Lorentzen continues to dive deeper into the Suburban Noir landscape ha started exploring with two previous albums. In other words: it is still dark and moody, it’ s introvert, eclectic and dealing with the pains and pleasures of existence. The pace is slower than on the previous album “Pains & Pleasures of Intimacy”, but the lyrics are strong, heartfelt and sung as if life depended on it. As a backdrop Ben Lorentzen explains how he imagines the 10 songs as a conversation between humanity and it’s collective conscience and how the two entities falling apart becomes the King of Bitter Sorrow.
