Benjamin Booker has shared details for his new album ‘Witness,’ out on June 2nd. The title track, Booker’s most profound and politically charged song to date, features a guest vocal by Mavis Staples.

On ‘Witness,’ Booker has created his most ambitious work yet by digging deep into his passion for eccentric soul, R&B, and blues, while never straying too far from the garage-punk intensity that made his self-titled 2014 debut such a creative breakthrough. Benjamin has written a statement about the album which you can read here. The album’s ten new, original tracks were all written by Booker, produced by Sam Cohen (Kevin Morby), mixed by Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes), and recorded at The Isokon studio in Woodstock, NY and New York City’s Red Delicious studio.
