You’re listening to 8th Day and there’s an instrumental sound you just can’t identify. But don’t worry you’re not the only one — Bentzi Marcus himself can’t tell you what it’s called either.

“On our latest album Slow Down we came up with a song in the studio on the spot ” Bentzi recounts. “We called it “A Better Me.” It was one of those magical Hashgachah pratis moments where everything just clicked. We needed a fresh sound for the song’s intro and the producer Bruce Witkin pointed to a strange-looking stringed instrument on the wall. I tried it out and voilà it worked perfectly! I don’t even remember what it’s called.”
