Ben's Imaginary Band reflects on love and timing with recent release “Slapback”

Ben's Imaginary Band's "Slapback" reflects on emotional disconnection, surprise, and the odd ways life can mess with our sense of time. An odd way to begin a relationship that never quite comes together is the repeated image of a world that halts, if only for a moment, at someone's birth. The writing has a beautifully surreal quality, as a mismatched movie soundtrack played on a slow-running tape. "Slapback" is about the frustration of wanting life to work out, only to have it have other plans.
