Clumsy love. Dark humor. Crooked tenderness.

Album

Néons cheap is a dirty, nocturnal, and human Québécois cabaret rock album.

Across ten songs, ben01 moves through desire, shame, possession, clarity, and the hard lesson of opening your arms without holding on.

Like a broken romantic comedy set in Verdun, produced like a crooked, living rock record, heard in a cheap bar under tired neon lights.
