Mutual Benefit, the project of Jordan Lee’s sometimes one-man-band, sometimes sprawling collective, released their debut album, the powerful and heartfelt Love’s Crushing Diamond, last week via Other Music Recording Co. After sharing various album tracks that gave listeners a glimpse into the lucid, sonorous world of Lee and his chosen collaborators, he now presents the video for “Advanced Falconry,” created by BANGS and directed by Allie Avital Tsypin.
As previously announced, Mutual Benefit will tour North America early next year. They’ve added a week of European dates to their upcoming itinerary as well. The live band will feature Jordan (guitar, synths, vocals), his sister, Whitney Lee (vocals, synth), plus a bassist, guitarist and percussionist/vocalist.
