Ben&Ben dropped their much awaited third album, “The Traveller Across Dimensions,” on Friday.
The nine-piece folk-pop band’s latest release is a concept album with 12 songs. It follows an animated character named Ligaya who is on a journey to answer the question, “How must we live?”
“The Traveller Across Dimensions” is separated into three parts.
“Part 1: Light” is where Ligaya learns how to be a traveller and prepares for challenges ahead with her teacher, Gabay.
In “Part 2: Energy,” Ligaya meets a dog named Puhon. During her journey, she has to face her greatest challenge, Dilim.
Finally, in “Part 3: Feel,” Ligaya starts a romance with another traveller named Mahiwaga. To reach the last dimension, Duyan, which symbolizes inner peace, they must let go of everything they are attached to.
“The Traveller Across Dimensions” includes the previously released tracks, “Could Be Something,” “Comets,” and “Triumph.”
Ben&Ben will be holding a concert on December 14 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in support of the album. The show will feature Ben&Ben’s live music with filmmaking and multimedia elements to create an animation-concert hybrid.
