Benzo Beneluxo Shares New Single ‘Come On Home’
Benzo Beneluxo, the dreamy indie/bedroom-pop solo project of Dutch artist Koen Fris, has just shared his brand new single Come On Home, the first single of his upcoming EP, Barkie.
On Come On Home, Benzo beautifully layers his smooth vocals over whizzing synths and delicate guitars, creating a soft and chilled atmosphere. The track opens with rich euphonious guitars that smoothly swirl together before dropping into the driving beat of this song, the rhythm section taking the listener on a journey with pleading lyrics from an outsider watching a poor odyssey play out to a loved one, while they are in total oblivion of harm. I am loving the intricate guitars melodies and how the song has an overall summery and nostalgic atmosphere. This is one of those songs I play when I want to relax and just feel at peace and I think you guys will enjoy it too.
To accompany the release, Benzo shared a DIY, retro-looking music video that opens with a POV from the passenger travelling in a car, embarking on an island adventure through sunny Madeira, Portugal. The clip captures the cute camouflage that Benzo Beneluxo washes his songs in, complete with puppies and kittens! I am even more excited to share the video as it was shot in my gorgeous little island and it perfectly matches the song's chillout and feel-good atmosphere. Check it out below!
