BenBen + Izzy

22 September 2024

BenBen is a NYC-based indie animator and guitarist whose unforgettable tenor is almost a blend of Robert Plant, Thom Yorke and... Michael Jackson. Working with his songwriting partner Lily Desmond, BenBen's recent EP 'White Elephant' has garnered over 50,000 streams, supported by over a dozen performances in Europe and the UK. When touring the United Kingdom, the duo were joined by Huddersfield-based cello sorceress Isabel Williamson, who plays with acts such as Bonfire Tide and Scatterchild. The trio quickly bonded, merging intricate chamber instrumentation, fantasy-tinged melodies and wild vocal harmonies, and an approach to acoustic music very much informed by riff-oriented rock.


“Ben Wigler has been all over the indie rock landscape; he crafts deluxe, swirling indie odes… dense with instrumentation and unconventional percussion.” – Stereogum

“BenBenguides listeners through a kaleidoscope of sonic hues. Picture a blend of Soundgarden’s energy, Radiohead’s inventiveness, and Michael Jackson’s emotional honesty, and you’ll grasp this unique sound.” – Fame Magazine
