Mutual Benefit, the brainchild of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jordan Lee, is a music project that weaves together a tapestry of folk-inspired melodies and ambient soundscapes. Lee, who hails from Texas but has spent significant time in Ohio and Boston, began releasing music under this moniker around 2009. His work is characterized by its intimate and reflective nature, drawing on personal experiences and a deep connection to the subtleties of the natural world.

Mutual Benefit's discography reads like a series of explorations into the ephemeral intersections between human emotion and the environment we inhabit. Standout releases like "Thunder Follows the Light" showcase this delicate balance through a collection of tracks that explore themes of impermanence and resilience amidst a backdrop of lush, orchestral arrangements. Other singles like "Waves, Breaking" and "Shedding Skin" continue this motif, offering listeners a chance to ponder their own place within the greater tapestry of life. Lee's project, which often features a rotating cast of musicians contributing to its expansive sound, invites us to find solace in the shared experiences of growth, loss, and renewal that his music so poignantly captures.
