This past weekend, I released my 3rd album (https://larrylesser1.bandcamp.com/album/night-will-end), NIGHT WILL END, which has timely songs such as a particular October 7 experience of the family of Hersh Goldberg-Polin in "Held". This coming weekend, a music video made of my Crypto-Jewish song "Lights Lead Home" from my 2020 album SPARKS (which was a Finalist for Best Album at the 2021 New Mexico Music Awards) is being screened as an Official Selection of the Silver City Community Music Festival (see story at https://www.nmjewishjournal.com/carrasco-crypto-judaic-themed-music-video-an-official-selection-for-the-silver-city-film-festival-in-october/
Our latest single ‘Sweet and the Burn’ from our upcoming album ‘Over Again’ (out May 1st 2026) came out of Friday the 5th of September!
Take a listen, let us know what you think!
Lyrics:
Have you seen the old town
Itʼs like a record with the needle down
You can think youʼre playing it
The more you do the more it skips
And youʼll be begging for another turn
The sweet comes with the burn
Instrumental
Walking on a knife edge
Wondering why Iʼm not dead yet
“Cause itʼs something that you canʼt refuse
I paid Charlie just to be excused
And Iʼll be begging for another turn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the…
Burn
Instrumental
If the liquor doesnʼt do me in
It will hold me like an old friend
Dancing with me all night
And tell me that itʼs all right
And Iʼm still begging for another turn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the…
Burn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the burn
Itʼs a lesson that I never learn, yeah
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the…

Hey everyone. My name's Ben Eisenberger and I recently released my third album Ben Eisenberger Chamber Group a few weeks ago digitally and on vinyl :)
I play a sort of fingerpicked, classically-influenced style of guitar and write songs. I started out solo, moved to a second record that encompassed a few more musicians, and this is sort of my first "full band" thing. There's many influences - from musical-ish melody lines, free improvisation, and an overall ambient vibe.
I was sort of discouraged at the lack of label/press/management/radio/any response toward the record before and after release, despite so much reaching out. I'd really appreciate it if you gave it a listen and let me know what you think!

A heartfelt ballad that honors the quiet dignity of rural life and the memory of a loved one gone too soon, “Baling Hay” provides the lead single from Elexa Dawson's third studio album, Stay Put. “Baling Hay” is a tribute to Elexa’s Grandpa, a humble, hardworking soul whose tractor-greasy grace lives on in memory and song. With vivid pastoral imagery and an intimate vocal delivery, rooted in folk tradition and country soul, it’s a song that will be memorable for any music lover from rural North America.
