Ben Kweller’s First New Song in Five Years with Video Reveal Tomorrow

BEN-KWELLER

It’s Ben a while (5 yrs) since indie musician Ben Kweller has dropped new material.

The new song – the crunchy “Heart Attack Kid” – is streaming online. Kweller also has a new video, tour, and album on the way.

Kweller, his wife, and two young children were ‘minutes’ from fatal carbon monoxide poisoning as a result of an incident in 2013. Afterward, Kweller says, he fell into a deep depression and personal ‘hibernation’.

After the incident, Kweller says he did not want to leave his family’s side for years and for the first time in his life he was scared.

Kweller also said that losing one of his best friends “in a blink of an eye” in 2016 motivated him to get back to his music career. He has since written nearly 50 new songs.

We all love comeback stories.

The new video premieres on YouTube in just about 32 hours from now via this link. The new album has not received a release date just yet.

In the meantime, the track is streaming on his Spotify page. Here it is. Enjoy
