In his latest single, “Rust,” Ben Böhmer offers a delicate and introspective journey that invites listeners to step back into the familiar warmth of his signature sound. This track, part of his forthcoming album Bloom, feels like a gentle whisper to the soul, a comforting embrace that resonates deeply with those who have followed Böhmer’s musical evolution.
“Rust” unfolds with a quiet, understated elegance. The rhythm pulses softly, reminiscent of distant memories, while the subtle dusting of shakers adds a sense of fragility to the atmosphere. Böhmer’s mastery of bright, warm synths is on full display here, creating an ambiance that feels both tender and profound. The track carries a reflective and soothing emotional weight, a stark contrast to the bold experimentation seen in his earlier singles from the album, “Hiding” featuring Lykke Li, and “Best Life” with JONAH.
Lyrically, “Rust” explores themes of longing and connection, echoing a deep-seated desire for touch and intimacy. This reflective nature aligns with the broader narrative we’ve glimpsed from Bloom so far, yet it also signals a return to the essence of Böhmer’s earlier works, such as Breathing and Begin Again. While his recent singles have ventured into new sonic territories, “Rust” feels like a homecoming—a reminder of the sound that first captured his audience’s hearts.
As a prelude to the full album, set for release on September 27th, “Rust” is a poignant reminder of Böhmer’s ability to weave emotion and atmosphere into his music. It’s a track that both soothes and stirs, offering a hint of the expansive sonic landscape that Bloom promises to explore. For fans old and new, “Rust” is a beautiful return to the sound that made Ben Böhmer a beloved name in the electronic music scene.
