Benjamin Booker Gets Closer to ‘Lower’ With ‘Slow Dance in a Gay Bar’ Video

Benjamin Booker has released the video for 'Slow Dance in a Gay Bar,' his fourth single since announcing his first album in eight years, 'Lower.'

Benjamin Booker ’s moody new single, “Slow Dance in a Gay Bar,” is out now, and it comes with a dream-like video of the musician driving a white van through the narrow streets of New Orleans’ French Quarter. “I am beginning to see the beauty all around me/What this life can be,” Booker sings over simmering guitar and delicate keys on “Slow Dance in a Gay Bar.” In a statement, he said, “You know, sometimes you find yourself in a death hole, surrounded by bones and rotting flesh. “At some point I decided I’m going to find it or die trying.” Booker told Rolling Stone they worked on the album together virtually, hardly speaking but sending songs and stems back and forth.
