The Stalker by Benjamin Lee Farley

Benjamin Lee Farley has been writing and recording music
for around 20 years and he swears that he's finally gotten
good at it - though we know he always has been. Diagnosed
bipolar and schizophrenic and recently medicated, he is
finally willing to use his mental illness to his advantage if it
gets people to perk up their ears. In other words, he hears
things and sometimes it translates to music and lyrics. After
more than a decade of performing with different acts and
under various aliases in the Boston area, he has relocated to
the hills of North Carolina and become a hermit. Self taught
and frighteningly prolific, he has recorded and released over
50 albums in the past 5 years alone, in styles ranging from
singer-songwriter-folky-americana to grimy electronics to dub
to thrash metal to straight up rock n fuckin' roll. With yelling.
His latest album The Stalker is in many ways a synthesis of
the different musical strains he has explored over his long
career, a frenetic burst of energy showcasing his raw talent
and well-honed DIY production instincts. His music has been
compared to a wide breadth of legendary musicians, but is
really its own unique monster. Highfives and backpats all
around. - Sad Milk Collective
