Shot For Sneakers: Bene

New Zealand wunderkind BENE's had a whirlwind couple of months since the release of her second single. It's called 'Soaked', and it's drenched in this washed-out funk-pop that'll leave you pressing play again and again.

She's out here in Australia for her debut run of shows, playing tonight in Sydney at The Lansdowne! We got the op to hang with her for the afternoon atop the incredibly scenic Paramount Recreation Club rooftop, and our pal James Simpson came along to work his magic. All photos shot by him.

Check out the shoot below, and sus the event details after the pictures too.
