<blockquote>“I’ve spent the majority of my career backing up bands,” he says. “Now I want to let loose.”

To coproduce and play drums on his record, Yurco flew in Seth Kauffman, the brains behind the North Carolina-based band Floating Action, which opened for the Nocturnals last year. “Everything is effortless with Seth,” says Yurco, who cites Kauffman as one of his favorite musicians.

Ari Abedon, the Nocturnals’ merchman and a friend of Yurco’s, plays Rhodes piano on the record. “At first I thought Ari was, like, this Christian cult guy,” says Yurco. Abedon had been reading Denis Johnson’s Jesus’ Son on the tour bus when they met. “Turns out he’s a Jewish guy from Newton, Mass.,” Yurco says. “We hit it off, and from that day on I was like, ‘You’re my role dog.’” Also on board for some tracks is Blues and Lasers bassist John Rogone. </blockquote>

We're looking forward to what Benny has up his longhair sleeve.
