HOUSE OF CONFUSION

On his latest album of country-influenced indie rock, Dave Benton takes surprising, subtle turns in songs of indecision, introspection, and alienation.

Songwriter/vocalist Dave Benton started Trace Mountains as a low-stakes side project while his fuzz-damaged indie rock band LVL UP was active and taking up the majority of his time.

Trace Mountains' latest LP is a reconsideration of Americana. Dave Benton is uncertain, defeated, earnest, ironic, heartbroken, and inspiring all at once.
