Incubus and The Roots Star Ben Kenney To Burn The Tapes in Rocktober

09/08/2010
.
Ben Kenney of Incubus and The Roots fame is set to release his fourth solo album, Burn The Tapes, on October, 1, 2010.

According to his bio, Ben Kenney brings his diverse music experience and influences to his most recent solo album, Burn The Tapes. Kenney's music begins with an alternative rock foundation and branches out towards the multifaceted genres of punk rock, R&B, and ambient. Kenney's talent extends past that of the typical musician. In addition to writing and playing every instrument on his solo endeavors, he records and produces them. Burn The Tapes once again exhibits his technical skills as a multi-instrumentalist.

Kenney implements experiences from his previous bands into his solo albums to give him his distinct sound. Thrashing guitars are remnants of his Philadelphia-based punk rock band, Supergrub, which was strongly influenced by Bad Brains. The heaviness of some songs is counterbalanced with funky grooves perfected from his stint with The Roots. Kenney's vocal cadence is similar to fellow Incubus bandmate, Brandon Boyd, with added falsetto notes to his chiefly tenor vocals.

theaudioperv.com further reports that Burn The Tapes was recorded in Kenney's home studio in Ventura County for the past year and was produced and engineered solely by Kenney with the versatile musician playing every instrument on the album. The album includes 10 original songs including the single, "Worlds Collide," now available as a free download on www.benkenney.com.

A DVD will accompany the album featuring skits by Kenney and friends, questions from fans and performances with Ben Kenney and his touring band members, Ashley Mendel and Sekou Lumumba.
