Ben Howard releases taster of highly anticipated 3rd album, Noonday Dream, with experimental single

Ben Howard has been relatively silent since the release of his critically acclaimed 2nd record, I Forget Where We Were – despite being part of the A Blaze Of Feather project last year. His new track, A Boat To An Island On The Wall was premiered on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show yesterday evening and would suggest an evolution inspired more from the 2nd album than the 1st.





The 7 minute composition is filled with crooning waves of guitars and soaked with reverb. It’s like Ben Howard has created his own genre – experimental folk. If this single is anything to go by, his third album looks to be even further removed from the original folk tracks, with pop hooks, that made his name. His evolution as an artist has been immaculate since he entered the sphere of UK music back in 2012. Never doing the same thing twice, his eerie vocals, cryptic songwriting and unique sound will manifest themselves into the history of British music.

He has also released some UK Tour dates, the presale of which you can get early access to if you pre-order the album.
