Winter is For Lovers Early Release on Vinyl

Story

Early release vinyl from Ben Harper

For years we’ve been fans of Ben Harper’s music—while his unique sound blends genres, you can hear influences of blues, folk, classic soul, and even reggae. After 30+ years of selling out venues and even winning Grammys, Ben’s unveiling his first ever instrumental album, and we were lucky enough to get a hold of some vinyls for an early release before the digital version drops on October 23rd.

All proceeds will be donated to LIFT, an organization that Ben supports, whose mission is to empower families to break the cycle of poverty

About the Album

Ben Harper’s new album Winter is For Lovers unfolds entirely without words—it is a profoundly emotional story told exclusively through the nuance of sound. The narration is provided by a single lap-steel guitar and the music references blues and folk as well as flamenco, indian, and classical, but it transcends any specific style. In that, the album philosophically evokes the American Primitive movement pioneered by John Fahey and Leo Kottke, utilizing masterful playing to create an impressionistic and affecting work. As Harper explains, “Hopefully it cuts deep enough where people can see their own experiences in the music.”

Why We Love Vinyl

• Unique packaging produced just for vinyl, including the album cover, sleeve, inserts, and records
• Superior lossless audio quality compared to digital formats
• Interactive, engaged listening experience — from choosing the record from your bin to dropping the needle to flipping the record
• Owning the physical copy of the music rather than a digital file, plus most vinyl comes with a digital download included for on-the-go listening
