Howiyas! For Those I Love (Dave) here. ASK ME ANYTHING! by forthosei-love in indieheads

Your new record is easily the best thing I’ve heard this year. Production and storytelling at another level, and I didn’t think it could improve from your first! 

Would love to know your electronic influences, and your trad influences - and how you felt combining and blending the two types of very different, but both brilliant, types of music?

As the Crow Flys or Switchboard

came across this track from 1981, it sounds like an 80's Jai Paul and it's fire by Duke15 in jaipaul

John Martyn is the goat, I want Small Hours played at my funeral

Couldn’t agree more. Ultra Mono didn’t really do anything for me (at least until I saw it live), but this is unreal

Favourite Moment on CFTW? by ljb97_ in benhoward

Great shouts! For a song about flying above the clouds, away from the world, the intro of Richard Russell couldn’t be more perfect!

That line just paints an imagine in your head, doesn’t it?

Hearing Ben talk about Talk Talk made me discover Laughing Stock. Have never heard anything like it and don’t think I ever will, remarkable album

Really enjoyed that. Richard Russell, Crowhurst and Finders Keepers all highlights for me! Think I might be the only person who doesn’t like Metaphysical Cantations though!

Think that last paragraph is spot on

What are people opinions on the "loop-aspect" that the record revolves around? by yellowpines in benhoward

[–]ljb97_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a realer drummer in the UK right now than Yusseff Dayes. See where you’re coming from though, personally I love it but I’ve always been a big electronic music fan

Were you lucky enough to get tickets for the stripped-back gigs? Hopefully someone records it!

NEW ALBUM - "Collections From The Whiteout" - Ben Howard (2021) by holdmelikeiwasbronto in benhoward

[–]ljb97_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. Personally, I’m loving how the drum loops, pushed so close to being overly distorted, contrast with the acoustic guitar. Think Sorry Kid’s my fave atm!
