We’re excited to premiere “See You On The Other Side,” the lead single from Soloists, the forthcoming album from Ben Eisenberger. On this song, the Omaha-based musician flexes his songwriting chops for a wistful track that features an inviting melody, some expansive instrumentation, and lovelorn lyrical themes. It has a certain midwestern charm to it that’s quite palpable and infectious, as Eisenberger sings about intense feelings of longing and loving in a deeply personal and conversational manner.
His vocals are affected and echoey, drawing on the vivid imagery of a winding country road as he pines for the object of his affection with cutting lyrics like: “you know that I’m a wanderer. I fixate on uncertainty. But everywhere I go, I carry you with me. How’s it there in your hometown 10,000 miles across the sea. Just hoping that you know, you’re everything to me.” His own nimble guitar work is complemented by a wailing pedal steel that stretches far and wide, and a feather-light beat.
Soloists is set for release on December 11th vía Plastic Miracles.
