Ben Ricketts

Ben was born. Ben makes music. Ben will die one day. "At his live shows, Ricketts incorporates the visual and the avant garde." - The Anniston Star "The underground musician’s self-recorded and self-released psychedelic pop owes much to the warped legacy of Athens’ influential Elephant 6 artistic collective; recent releases, like February [2016]’s 'Laughing Moon I'/'Laughing Moon II' single, feature subtle pop songcraft willfully obscured by washed-out atmospherics." - Athens Flagpole "A psychedelic dance party that the whole family can enjoy." - Dylan Van Zile (Captain Magma, Suicide Doors, fuzzytree) "A soundscape of homemade noises and synthetic sounds powered by gut wrenching lyrics and unworldly harmonies, seeming completely out of place in the humid flatlands of Mississippi yet they somehow compliment one another. It's the millennial's 'Pet Sounds.'" - Cody Rogers (The Holy Ghost Electric Show, Suicide Doors) "He constructs shelters made of bruised synth lines only to claw at the exteriors with dissonant beats." - The Equal Ground "And with a style that covers diverse genres, styles, and a century worth of music, it's certain that what he comes up with next will be worth listening to." - The Daily Corinthian Mississippi's Mad Scientist of Art Pop
