seeyousoon - “BEN AFFLECK” (Official Video)
By: Phil Deutsch, IG: @pbdeutsch
If a particularly grungy beat captivates your quarantine-addled brain this week, it’s probably coming from “Ben Affleck,” the standout track off seeyousoon’s debut album, VIDÉ. Released in June, the project makes a strong case for seeyousoon as the next collective to capture the hearts of music fans everywhere.
With more similarities to Brockhampton than the collective is likely to admit, these nine Floridians have banded together to bend genres and fuse their talents in service of a musical vision. It’s absolutely true here that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, as the song, production, lyrics, and video all impress.
Lyrics That Stick:
“Cut the pace
Walking like I hate it you can see it on my face
skeleton i wear it like it’s wrapped around my waist
know you wanna ask but I prefer that you refrain
running up the tab but i just poured it down the drain”
