HunterSThompson 4,646 Posted April 6, 2018 Ben Howard is one of my favorite artists and we don't have a thread on him! I'm sure most of Lanaboards will hate his music and think it's "boring" because it's not some popstar, but Ben Howard is such a meaningful and talented artist that deserves attention. Ben Howard is an English singer, writer, musician and composer. Most of his work is considered indie folk, ambient rock or acoustic. His first record is more GP-friendly and upbeat, akin to early Jack Johnson, but his second record is darker and more ambient with hard-hitting lyrics and guitar riffs. He's relatively popular, with his individual Spotify song streams consistently being in the millions. He is a recipient of 2 BRIT Awards, and was nominated for a Mercury Prize in 2013. I'll share some songs from each record that are worth listening to for new fans! Every Kingdom (2011) Only Love Black Flies Keep Your Head Up The Fear Under The Same Sun I Forget Where We Were (2014): I Forget Where We Were Small Things Conrad Rivers In Your Mouth Time Is Dancing Evergreen All Is Now Harmed She Treats Me Well End Of The Affair In Dreams (accidentally put every track here whoops it's just such a good record sorry) Noonday Dream (2018) is his newest record, coming out on June 1, 2018. The first single is... A Boat To An Island On The Wall 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did a show with Daughter a few years back in NYC and it was incredible. My friends actually met him outside of another NYC show in 2015! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My friends actually met him outside of another NYC show in 2015! I got to see him at Ali Pali in 2015, he's incredible and so are his fans, everyone behaved and just listened lol no crushing or screaming like with Lana's shows. His voice and guitar skills are unreal, you don't get more talented than him. This is a good way for people to wean onto him https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z137gSRORiU 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
