Mutual Benefit - Thunder Follows The Light

Review by Brandon Whalen

Thunder Follows The Light is the fourth studio album by Mutual Benefit, an indie folk band led by Jordan Lee. The album was released on September 21, 2018, through Transgressive Records.

The album has a dreamy and ethereal quality to it, with Lee's soothing vocals and intricate instrumentals creating a calming atmosphere. The songs are filled with lush orchestration, and the arrangements are layered and complex.

The album opens with "Written in Lightning," a beautifully crafted track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. "Come to Pass" is another standout track, with its haunting melody and evocative lyrics. "No Dominion" is a more upbeat and optimistic track that showcases Lee's ability to write catchy and memorable hooks.

The album also features collaborations with other artists, such as Julie Byrne and Johanna Warren, which adds an interesting dynamic to the overall sound of the album.
