Ben Kweller’s seventh studio album, Cover the Mirrors, isn’t just about the loss of his teenage son, Dorian. It’s about…everything. It’s time folding in on itself. It’s a journal only he can really read. It’s an amalgamation of the decades preceding — a storied career that started in Kweller’s teenage years, continued during his days as an early 2000’s indie rock stalwart, and evolved as he grew up into the father of a son on the precipice of his own rock & roll story. Loss and love are woven through it all, yes, but, in the end, it’s about living on.
“It’s a full circle type of album,” Kweller says, of this one, which drops (via his Noise Company label) May 30th, on what would’ve been Dorian’s 19th birthday. “There's a lot of reflecting — not only reflecting on the loss of Dorian. I'm also taking an inventory of everything else. My whole time on Earth. Everything I've created as an artist.”
