Artist: Grandson
Single: Eulogy
From: New Jersey/Toronto
Jordon Benjamin continues to travel the world with his music. He was born in New Jersey, but grew up in Toronto. He was a DJ around Montreal, before moving to Concordia University two years later to focus on a communications degree. He left in 2014 and moved to Los Angeles to pursue music. This is his first new single, since his 2021 song “Drop Dead” featuring Kesha and Travis Barker. He released his critically acclaimed debut album, “Death of an Optimist” in 2020.
Here is his statement about the new song,
“‘Eulogy’ was written in the aftermath of a bad mushrooms trip this summer, which led me to scrapping my album and admitting to myself and others that I was struggling with fantasies of self harm. It’s easy to feel nihilistic or cynical about the future, and there’s a strange comfort in indulging in the depressing absurdity of day to day life with the only people in the world that understand you.”
Grandson will start a world tour in May. He’ll be playing in Toronto in July.
