Exciting news, I’ve finally wrapped up my latest album, Battery. It’s an energetic synth pop album with darkly comic lyrics and intricate dance arrangements. I know you’ll love it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.superbenco.com/battery"&gt;&lt;img alt="Battery Album Cover" height="400" src="http://www.bentonbarnett.com/superbenco/images/Battery%20Album%20Cover%20Small.jpg" width="400"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The album can be purchased from &lt;a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/battery/id503014344"&gt;iTunes&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0079DDMJC/ref=dm_sp_alb?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1329509039&amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;. The album can also be &lt;a href="http://soundcloud.com/superbenco/sets/battery"&gt;streamed from Soundcloud by clicking here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://superbenco.com/post/17778816779</link><guid>http://superbenco.com/post/17778816779</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Feb 2012 15:17:23 -0500</pubDate><category>Benco</category><category>MP3</category><category>Free MP3</category><category>Download</category><category>Synthpop</category><category>Dance</category><category>Music</category><category>Portland</category></item><item><title>What what!

Here’s the first single off my new album. It’s called You and You and I’m pretty excited about it. It’s a return to my Synthpop roots. It’s got vocals, big crunchy synths and hyperactive drums.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I mentioned, it’s off my new album. Which is called Battery since it’s electric, fully charged and technically assault.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stream it by hitting the player above or &lt;a href="http://soundcloud.com/superbenco/you-and-you"&gt;click here to download the MP3&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://superbenco.com/post/16438453768</link><guid>http://superbenco.com/post/16438453768</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:26:51 -0500</pubDate><category>free mp3</category><category>synthpop</category><category>benco</category><category>music</category><category>download</category><category>mp3</category><category>pop</category><category>portland</category></item><item><title>Rivers and Streams has been set free!</title><description>&lt;a href="http://soundcloud.com/superbenco/sets/these-rivers-and-streams-are-1/"&gt;Rivers and Streams has been set free!&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Hey everyone! In order to make room for some exciting new things, I’ve decided to set my most recent album free! These Rivers and Streams are Nothing but Things is now available to download from Soundcloud, just hit the link above or &lt;a href="http://www.theseriversandstreamsarenothingbutthings.com/"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Crazy!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will certainly become a piece of Benco memorabilia and is no longer available in stores.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, be sure to check back soon, I have some interesting things on the way. Interesting &lt;em&gt;NEW&lt;/em&gt; things.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://superbenco.com/post/16210243951</link><guid>http://superbenco.com/post/16210243951</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:33:47 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Werewolf Boyfriend Remix</title><description>&lt;a href="http://diskowarp.bandcamp.com/album/werewolf-boyfriend-remixes"&gt;Werewolf Boyfriend Remix&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Hi friends,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I did a super creepy remix for Fright Ranger’s Werewolf Boyfriend. Just in time for Halloween! It’s melodic and manic and wonderful. 5 other remixes too! It’s all too much. Go check it out at &lt;a href="http://diskowarp.bandcamp.com/album/werewolf-boyfriend-remixes"&gt;Diskowarp’s Bandcamp page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://superbenco.com/post/12181426189</link><guid>http://superbenco.com/post/12181426189</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:18:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Last chance for Rivers and Streams</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey buddies,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve decided to remove my album These Rivers and Streams are Nothing but Things from iTunes, Amazon and other outlets. If you want to pick up what will become a rare piece of Benco history, I suggest picking up the album while it&amp;#8217;s still in stores. I&amp;#8217;ll be pulling it from stores early next month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So hurry on over and &lt;a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/these-rivers-streams-are-nothing/id398076512"&gt;pick it up from iTunes&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/These-Rivers-Streams-Nothing-Things/dp/B004CBQRP0/"&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://superbenco.com/post/10135467506</link><guid>http://superbenco.com/post/10135467506</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Sep 2011 16:39:14 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Donut Nook &amp; Friends</title><description>&lt;a href="http://donutnook.bandcamp.com/"&gt;Donut Nook &amp; Friends&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Hey! One of my songs was featured on a compilation from the incorrigible electropop label Donut Nook! Whaaaat? That’s crazy. Head over and take a listen. The whole compilation is golden, beginning to end.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://superbenco.com/post/8525551727</link><guid>http://superbenco.com/post/8525551727</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:15:28 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Stream my latest album</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Just a reminder: you can stream my latest album &lt;a href="http://theseriversandstreamsarenothingbutthings.com/"&gt;These Rivers and Streams are Nothing but Things&lt;/a&gt; in its entirety over &lt;a href="http://soundcloud.com/superbenco/sets/these-rivers-and-streams-are-1/"&gt;on Soundcloud&lt;/a&gt;.

I like to experiment a lot with my remixes and this remix is certainly an experiment. You can see hints of These Rivers and Streams are Nothing but Things in the arrangement and the overly-long nature of the remix. I feel it’s one of my better remixes, overall, and stands on its own artistically.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://superbenco.com/post/5245583693</link><guid>http://superbenco.com/post/5245583693</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 May 2011 12:00:00 -0400</pubDate><category>remix</category><category>synthpop</category><category>freezepop</category><category>benco</category></item><item><title>These Rivers and Streams are Nothing but Things</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Yo! This is exciting. My new album is out! It&amp;#8217;s called &lt;a href="http://theseriversandstreamsarenothingbutthings.com/"&gt;These Rivers and Streams are Nothing but Things&lt;/a&gt;. It&amp;#8217;s a collection of bits and pieces of compositions I&amp;#8217;ve created over the years and it&amp;#8217;s finally out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s instrumental, electronic and energetic. But don&amp;#8217;t take my word for it, &lt;a href="http://theseriversandstreamsarenothingbutthings.com/"&gt;click here to stream the entire album&lt;/a&gt;.

You can listen to the whole album by visiting the website.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those long time fans will notice that the first half of the song is a cover of Punk Rock, Synthpop, Gothed Up Princess off my previous EP &lt;a href="http://superbenco.com/b/"&gt;B&amp;&lt;/a&gt;. It’s true! It is! This album is chockablock full of Benco references.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://superbenco.com/post/3645439627</link><guid>http://superbenco.com/post/3645439627</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Mar 2011 18:26:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>The video for a song from The Soundness of Sleep.
