Reviews
“Light as a feather to dark: You can hum along with this Brit.” [RollingStone, February 2012]
“Not least of all, his accomplished playing on the six acoustic strings lifts him from the majority of his peers. The way the troubadour of the 21st century gently plucks his guitar and pecks powerfully, the way he sometimes transforms its wooden body into a percussion instrument, that is great class. A star is born!” (Stereo, March 2012)
“The focus is on Howard’s expert fingers and his warm voice.” [music express, march 2012]
“Remember, you can also tap strings instead of just plucking them. Plus cello sounds and Ben Howard’s high-pitched voice – atmospheric details that become tangible on the recording (audio, April 2012)Review
