about

BenBen is the first solo project of leprechaun-esque producer, singer, animator, museum exhibition designer and filmmaker Ben Wigler. A 21st century magical art rock gnome, BenBen has laid down vocals, production, and songwriting both in the studio and live for artists as diverse as Samantha Crain, Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls, and Gustav Ejstes, the legendary leader of Swedish psychedelic dream band Dungen.

Be A Mermaid's gossamer production style is laden with tiny sonic and melodic details that transmit to the listener a deep feeling of musical animism. The EP's songs are anchored by infectious, deeply striking melodic hooks - befitting of an EP with a bioluminescent aquatic theme. At the core of the EP is BenBen's unforgettably sweet, androgynous and hyper-expressive counter tenor voice - which literally Ariel the Little Mermaid's longing to be part of another world, but in reverse.
