Experimental multi-instrumentalist artist Jordan Lee, better known as Mutual Benefit, has announced his fourth studio album Growing at the Edges, out October 6 via Transgressive Records. The album sees Lee bring in his first ever co-producer and represents a five-year-long effort in artistic growth. It’s a lesson in opening the wounds of old questions and looking for new, better answers. Lee notes that “a central theme of this album is that it’s okay, at any age, to search your core beliefs and figure out if you might be fundamentally wrong about something.”

“Little Ways” is a calm, country-driven acoustic track about growing up and out, a fitting intro to the album it rises from. It reads like a mantra, a last glance backwards before the slow trudge into the unknown gets underway. Unhurried and sweet, the track rolls forward on the wheels of its own optimism.
