Triple J: Feature Album of The Week

Ben Lee - Awake Is The New Sleep


Australia's own Ben Lee is back with an album that is said to be a sort of healing process, a "wake", to his break-up with Hollywood actress, Claire Danes. Triple J is featuring this amazing new album all week and you get to hear tracks like the recent hit, Gamble Everything For Love, the pop-rock catchy sing-a-long Catch My Disease and the sweet ballad Into The Dark. The new record is so catchy and full of those pop-rock goodness you've expected from the young 26-year-old who brought you one of my favourite songs ever, Cigarettes Will Kill You.

In his own words: "you go to bed one night feeling that you’ve come to a dead end, that everything has been said and done, that there is no magic in the world...but the next morning you wake up - and everything’s changed.
wake up. wake up. wake up. this is an album about waking up."
