Ben Bostick sheds his skin on "Become Other" [Album]

Ben Bostick has always been a songwriter’s songwriter, cutting deep with words while painting very real pictures with a dusty, well-worn guitar. But on his sixth album, "Become Other," Bostick does something far more radical than hone his craft; he reinvents it. There are no more familiar Americana shapes and country yarns that brought him five albums’ worth of critical praise. In its place is an audacious, genre-resistant statement, one part raw emotion, one part sonic experiment, and one part philosophy lecture, a record about transformation and Bostick's life.

Over 12 tracks and 52 minutes, Bostick expands his voice and vision into new territory. The “Heavy Heart” opener is a standout and immediately announces the change. Brooding and vulnerable, it is rich with textures and sparse instrumentation that allows the weight of the lyrics to hit. Bostick’s voice holds a tender ache, quavering at moments, but steadfast in determination. The album’s spiritual fulcrum is the title track, “Become Other.”

With disarming melodies and existential musings, it buries headlong into the concept of rebirth, but as a lived-in experience. Bostick is not interested in mere growth but in erasing the past and evolving into something new. The entire album has a cinematic feel. It’s ambient and rooted, abstract and very human. He can still tell a story like nobody else, but risks, moody synths, and surprises here accompany it. Every track feels like a step into the unknown woods, where thoughts sound louder and clarity emerges in the fog.

"Become Other" is a new book. This album challenges its listeners to abandon categorizations and accept the beauty in ambiguity. It acknowledges that sometimes the truest art lives in free fall and that some types of free fall are more beautiful than others. This record represents a bold and much-deserved change for old and new fans alike. "Become Other" asks you to feel, think, and follow Bostick on a journey of becoming.
