Benmont Tench, renowned keyboardist for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, announced his first solo album in over ten years titled 'The Melancholy Season,' set to release on March 7, 2025. The album, produced by Jonathan Wilson, includes 13 tracks with contributions from various artists. Tench's upcoming residency at Café Carlyle in February will preview the album's songs. The title track has been released alongside a music video, focusing on themes of alienation within a couple. The album draws inspiration from personal experiences and celestial imagery.
"The Melancholy Season is a reflection on alienation between spouses, depicted through a vivid winter scene of a couple's disconnect by a pool on a cold night."
"It’s about a guy looking across the backyard at his wife by the pool. She’s about to kick off her shoes. The alienation between these two people is central to the song."
