In the quiet spaces where memories linger and emotions softly entwine, Ben Böhmer’s latest single, “Rust,” emerges as a tender embrace.
Böhmer’s latest gem from his forthcoming album Bloom envelops us in a world where every note feels like a gentle caress, every rhythm a heartbeat close to the skin. As the latest single from his forthcoming album, “Rust” stands as a poignant counterpoint to the bold strides of Böhmer’s recent releases, “Hiding” featuring Lykke Li and “Best Life” with JONAH. While those tracks charted new territories for Böhmer, “Rust” brings him back to the comforting embrace of the sound that first captivated his fans.
Opening with mellow, understated rhythms that pulse like a distant memory, “Rust” slowly unfurls with a grace that feels both fragile and profound. Dusting shakers flutter in the background, their subtle presence like whispers on the wind as Böhmer’s use of bright, warm synths creates an atmosphere of soft light. Meanwhile, the lyrics, playful yet introspective, explore the longing for touch and the deep-seated need for connection—a theme that resonates throughout what we’ve come to know of the album thus far.
En evocative journey, “Rust” marks a return to the sound that brought him to international acclaim, but it also hints at the broader, more expansive palette he has in store with Bloom. Fans will soon be able to hear the full album for themselves on September 27th, but in the meantime, check out “Rust” below.
