Bennett Heidelberger and the indie-lo fi heart (a little crushed but healing) of "100usd"

 



"what are you into (?) / pushing my skin / watching it bruise / doing it again..."


The indie-lo fi heart (a little crushed but healing) of "100usd" by Nashville singer-songwriter, artist Bennett Heidelberger, eases it's arms around your waist and pulls you in near like a close friend. The well constructed song with emo bones but well orchestrated flesh that helps tell Bennett's personal reflective stories surprises with more abstract musical breaks and chunky indie rock eruptions then you expect.    

About this track Heidelberger shares:

[My dear friends helped bring this song to life over the past year at a home studio in Nashville, TN. It is about being in a relationship and knowing you tire each other out. I was at a show with my friend, begrudging my tiredness, when she said, "if you say you're tired one more time, you owe me $100."]

[This past year I worked with dear friends who helped bring some songs of mine to life. These songs are a collection of smaller thoughts and vignettes surrounding the death of my family member and the ending of my long-term romantic partnership.]

"100usd" appeals to my inner need to hear small intimate stories, especially after the culmination of such a historical election whose outcome filled me with hopelessness. This peering into the micro instead of the macro, listening to the sonic arts has made me feel better maybe because I know there are good people out there. There has to be. 

"100usd" is a follow up to Bennett Heidelberger's 2024 EP "Wood Ducks".

Hello! I from Nashville, Tennessee. I have been music adjacent for much of my life in the city, but this past year I worked with dear friends who helped bring some songs of mine to life. These songs are a collection of smaller thoughts and vignettes surrounding the death of my family member and the ending of my long-term romantic partnership.
