Every Kingdom

Ben Howard

Percussive acoustic guitar and salt-crusted melodies. A coastal folk record that balances sun-drenched optimism with the brooding weight of the Atlantic.

September 30, 2011 · Island Records

A sun-drenched morning that slowly gives way to the cool, salt-heavy mist of the Atlantic.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive rhythmic shift in The Wolves where the percussive guitar tapping mimics a full drum kit.
The haunting, skeletal cello line that anchors the six-minute descent of Black Flies.
The way the reverb trails off into silence at the end of Promise, leaving only the ghost of a guitar melody.
