Description
The moment his thumb drags a ghost note across the low E in Oats In The Water, you feel the tide turn. Ben Howard’s The Burgh Island E.P. leans into the murkier, wind-beaten side of his writing, a compact set that rewards a quiet room. Esmerelda swells from muttered confession to a tense clang. Closing track Burgh Island brings Monica Heldal into the frame, their voices braiding as the guitars grind like rigging in a squall. This transparent pressing does the music a favour; low end sits deeper and imaging snaps into focus. Turn it up and you can trace the air around each finger squeak without losing the heft of those toms. It belongs right beside a Nick Drake corner of the shelf, though Howard’s coastal heft and storm-lit dynamics are his own. If you’d rather order from home, you can buy Ben Howard records online with us. Played at shut-eye hour, the room just quietens around it. Even the clear platter suits the EP’s briny mood without feeling like a gimmick. File it under late-night folk that hits heavier than you expect.
We make it easy to buy Ben Howard records online or pick up a copy in our Melbourne record shop.
