Play Time, Ben Vida, Will Epstein, Booker Stardrum - Magic Object (2026) [Hi-Res]

Musicians Ben Vida, Booker Stardrum, and Will Epstein have united as the trio Play Time to release the album "Magic Object." Recorded in a home studio in Hudson Valley, this release captures their transition from casual Brooklyn jams to a fully realized, mature collaboration. The album's sound is built on elastic, loose improvisation using Moog, saxophone, and drums. In its eclecticism, the music balances between minimalism and jazz, showcasing emotional fluidity, strong grooves, and electronic music influences that evoke associations with the early work of the band Tortoise.
