GODS
GODS is the band formerly known as Bensh. Now mainly based in Berlin and London, the four musicians have moved past the music of Bensh and as the new GODS have formed a strong vision for their new band and art collective, playing with the boundaries of alternative synth pop, electronic music and a wide spectrum of artistic and thematic influences. Their songs about love, war, sex, fear, hope and self destruction are reflections of the disintegration and change surrounding us. The release of the eponymous debut album GODS is due early 2015 (Wohnzimmer Records).
The first official single “Unnatural” presents the album’s main themes woven into a deceptively upbeat synth pop tune centered on the lingering hook ‘why does it taste so unnatural?’. The video for “Unnatural” was produced in collaboration with Berlin based Colombian graphic art group La Loma.
Performing live, GODS – Sion Trefor, Benshi Yo, Eli Candolini and Severin Zoolord – present a dense, energetic show with a tight set of synthesizers, percussion and guitar. GODS will premiere their new songs for the first time on stage at their Eurosonic Nooderslag showcase in Groningen on January 15, 2015.
