Miami Horror Interview + New Music Video ‘Sometimes’

By matt ⋅ October 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Underground Melbourne Producer/DJ/Musician/All-round-good-guy has blown us all away again! With the release of his new single – ‘Sometimes’ (which is off his yet to be named/released debut album) already creating a lot of buzz, we just can’t wait for the Album! As you may have noticed from our home page link, Miami Horror’s – ‘Sometimes’ has already hit number TWO on the Hype Machine’s Most Popular Tracks… Things are certainly about to heat up.

Spearheaded by the young and talented Benjamin, who you may remember from his, Breakthrough Summer Remix of ‘This Heart Attack ‘ by Aussie rockers Faker. Also who could forget the 2008 EP ‘Bravado’ featuring the hit song ‘Don’t Be On With Her’. Supported by a sensational trio of musician’s, with Benjamin on Keys, Bass and Sequencing, Josh on Guitar and Vox, Dan on Synth and Bass, Aaron on Drums and Sampler. Miami Horror is getting prepared for another assault on clubs and festivals around Australia.

Although very tight lipped I spoke exclusively to the man himself, he had some very interesting things to say about the new album:

Tell me about the new album and single?

Ben - Well josh the Guitarist/Vocalist got heavily involved about half way through the creative process adding a lot of guitar to the tracks. We’ve ended up making an album that could be a completely different artist to what Miami Horror is known for. No tracks were made specifically for the club at all.

Not specifically for the club?

Ben – Well after getting a little disenchanted with where club music was heading I decided to go in another direction, besides some of the first singles for the album have taken a turn towards some of our bigger recent influences.

They are?

Ben – Well I love Air, Pink Floyd and Supertramp! We are creating a sound that is new and fresh for us, we wanted to create something we didn’t feel anyone was exactly doing, while still tying the music in with our original direction.

You had some awesome guest artists on the EP anything new?

Ben – There are some collaborations with ‘The Golden Filter’ on a 60’s influenced dance track and also with vocalist Alan Palomo from NEON INDIAN and Vega.

Thanks for the time, can’t wait!

Ben – Me neither.

(And then we high-fived our way outta there.)

Although still cooped up in the studio finalizing the new 12-track debut album, Miami Horror has still had time to put together an amazing music video for the new single ‘Sometimes’. With the help from iconic Melbourne Directors ‘Moop Jaw’ specifically Rhett Wade-Ferrell (www.moopjaw.com) and with special thanks to Ben himself, DJvibe.com and I have been allowed access to this spectacularly shot and directed music video! Please enjoy!
