It’s been a minute since onetime noise addict Ben Lee teamed up with a Saved By The Bell star after proclaiming his love for Against Me!. He’s back with his seventh album The Rebirth Of Venus — the above thumbnail is the somewhat creepy album art — which is where you’ll find “Blue Denim.” This is how he describes the song:
Around the time I wrote this, the whole world seemed to be talking about Miley Cyrus and her saucy photos. Everything was so black and white. You had to either approve or disapprove. The conversation seemed overly focused on morality. This song is for Miley. If I could have sat and had a chat with her when all that drama was going down, I’d have told her “Don’t let anyone demonize your emerging sexuality. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about yourself. But know that you have a power as a young woman, that for better or worse, can build and destroy civilizations.”
Here goes, Miley, you civilization wrecker.
The Rebirth Of Venus is out 2/10 via New West.

Not trying to deliberately rack up negative red arrow points, but seriously I can’t believe this guy is still around and making music.
snore. i miss “awake is the new sleep.”
I don’t really listen to this kind of Ben Lee, Joshua Radin music, but I can’t imagine under what circumstances someone would write music about Miley Cyrus’ emerging sexuality.
What a pretentious guy. There’s a difference between “emerging sexuality” and putting up revealing pictures on the internet. Is that the new rite of initiation for puberty, showing off for peds on the web? As for Ben Lee himself, both his album art and his song are boring and look/sound like they just got sent here from the 90′s. Lame.
very stupid and pointless.
is that his new wife, diane court, on the right in the album art?
His music the hipster garbage ive ever herd
what he worse live, too jamaican
“It’s been a minute…”?
this is nothing. search for his new (australian) single ‘i love pop music’.
oh god. i’m sorry.
claire danes needs to break his heart again, stat.
I cannot believe how much I hate this guy… Catch My Disease just had to be both one of the most irritating earworms of the decade AND completely and utterly ubiquitous in Australia for an entire year.
