Ben Howard - Is It?

Ben Howard’s fifth album ‘Is It?’ is a lush, sonically splintered album which captures Howard working through moments of seismic shift. The songs range from the peaceful quotidian Days of Lantana, to cut up samples and driven beats of Walking Backwards, the formers’ pitched and warped Linda Thompson chorus reminiscent of Malcolm Mclaren´s ‘Madame Butterfly’. The album stands quite starkly on it’s own, buoyed by the circumstances of its creation.
