"Downtown Castles Can Never Block The Sun" is as much a 'greatest hits'
as it is a 'debut album' for Ben LaMar Gay. It's a collection of music
composed, performed & produced by the anomalous Southside
Chicago-born, sometimes Brazil-residing artist, compiled from 7 albums
he made over the last 7 years but never made the effort to actually
release.
With its title taken from the mantra Ben repeats across several tracks
on "Grapes" (1 of the 7 aforementioned albums), "Downtown Castles Can
Never Block The Sun" is our effort to channel the rainbow of sonic
expressions, art & poetry beaming from the ark of his unreleased
catalogue into a cohesive & communicable compilation. It's as good
of an introduction to Ben LaMar Gay as we could fit onto a single LP. To
call it "eclectic" would only scratch the surface. This music is
everything.
