Ben Shepard formed <a href="spotify:artist:38xUzangQ6cT3HDvWOrpJA" data-name="YEYEY">YEYEY</a> in the wake of the dissolution of his previous band <a href="spotify:artist:1ptLQCocWaAAh1Gknv8dDD" data-name="Uzi & Ari">Uzi & Ari</a>, in 2013. Frequent collaborations with Boston-based electronic outfit <a href="spotify:artist:0KjF9pkI2bO9EMuB7LnHqP" data-name="Arms and Sleepers">Arms and Sleepers</a> as a guest vocalist and guitarist for two albums and several marathon European tours contributed to the seven year gap since Shepard’s last full length, <a href="spotify:album:1y3agT2Fv3yLBbAF5vzJpb" data-name="Headworms">Headworms</a> was released, in 2008 under the Uzi & Ari moniker. In 2010, Shepard left his mountain home in Salt Lake City and settled into a riverside apartment in Brooklyn, New York to write and record <a href="spotify:album:6nIGnKAhzSJ0UixrByyJh5" data-name="The Vision">The Vision</a> (2015), which found him experimenting with a dozen instruments, and developing a new vocal approach to drape over his densely layered, post-rock styled pop arrangements. Several features and remixes for <a href="spotify:artist:0KjF9pkI2bO9EMuB7LnHqP" data-name="Arms and Sleepers">Arms and Sleepers</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4KEI2PqhlvbAdqlolRTTrp" data-name="Sun Glitters">Sun Glitters</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:08q2kFjr9p4cJqTGU9xJgg" data-name="PRONOUN">PRONOUN</a> followed in the ensuing years. 2025's full-length Last Blush sees Shepard carrying on his tradition of synthesizer heavy avant-pop with splattered, Kandinsky-esque abandon amongst skittering melodies, expressive 1960s drums and frenetic bass lines.
