BEN HOWARD Every Kingdom
(10th Anniversary Edition)

LP Limited Edition 180g Blue Vinyl

Already mentioned in the same hushed, reverent tones as Bon Iver, Jose Gonzales and John Martyn. Building on a solid framework of nimbly plucked guitar strings and luscious backing vocals, Howards soaring voice dishing out glorious choruses like theyre going out of fashion. radio-friendly it may be, but theres nothing fey about Howards folk: his up-tempo numbers have the muscular momentum of a galloping stallion, while his more subdued songs are underpinned by sinewy rhythms and a certain weightiness of theme. for example, the lovely everything deals with the inevitability of renewal and change, while the slow-building and panoramic black flies is essentially a break-up song.
