Portland pop producer and electronic artist, BRAUN (Ben Braun of Mackintosh Braun) will be releasing his solo album, Silent Science on October 16th via CA label Diving Bell Recording Co. The album is inspired by technology and how society has changed (specifically in the music making sense) and spans genres from 80s indie rock to lush synth pop and dance music. Now, BRAUN is releasing “Prague” the sparkling first single from the album. Listen below!
With “Silent Science”, BRAUN continues down the path he paved with Mackintosh Braun and brings his music even further from the eighties influences that first sparked his inspiration. The concept began for Braun as an awareness of the personal freedoms that he had sacrificed to live in the comforts of new technology. A longing for a more simple life pushes and pulls this album from past to present. From undeniable dance hooks, to sleepwalking chill-out, we meander our way from disco naps to lucid slumbers.
