Benjamin Dean Wilson announces new album Until the House Falls
Award-winning songwriter, filmmaker, and musical chameleon Benjamin Dean Wilson has announced the release of his ambitious new project, Until the House Falls, arriving on November 22. The expansive opus is a four-part musical radio play featuring eleven songs, creating a fully immersive “film for the ears.”
Eccentric originality, theatrical depth, and fearless storytelling have long been hallmarks of Wilson’s creative identity. A celebrated filmmaker and songwriter, he is the winner of top awards at multiple film festivals for his feature film Nuts! The Musical and Ivan and Craig. With Until the House Falls, Wilson extends this reputation into the realm of audio drama, crafting a bold narrative work that recalls conceptual classics such as Frank Zappa’s Joe’s Garage and The Kinks’ Preservation Acts 1 and 2.
Written, composed, produced, arranged, and directed entirely by Wilson, Until the House Falls stands as a testament to his singular artistic vision. A true “one-of-one” creator, he uses the project to explore humanity’s enduring hunger for inspiration, connection, and meaningful stories. The emotional range is vast, shifting from devastating to playful, dark and dramatic to joyful and rousing, mirroring the complexities of real life.
