AI-generated summary based on reporting by Pitchfork.
Robbie Bennett, the keyboardist for The War on Drugs, has announced two new solo albums coming out on December 11 through American Dreams. The albums are titled Steloken and Circulation, and together they will add 29 tracks to his solo work.
Bennett has already shared one song from each record: “Sister” from Steloken and “The Light on Your Face” from Circulation. Both albums follow his 2020 solo debut, Permanent World.
He made the music using the same keyboard he plays with The War on Drugs. He sent MIDI from an acoustic player piano into an Oberheim OB-X8 synthesizer, so both could play at once. He later added layers of Fender Rhodes, vocoder, and Soma Terra.
Bennett also appeared last month on The War on Drugs’ first new song since 2022, “Who’s That.” The band’s last studio album was 2021’s I Don’t Live Here Anymore, and they released Live Drugs Again in 2024.
