Exile on main

Ben Howard returns with the album ‘Is It?’ releasing on June 30, 2023. “Couldn’t Make It Up,” produced by Bullion (Westerman, Nilüfer Yanya, Orlando Weeks), is the first track of the 10-song record, exploring music after Ben experienced two mini strokes: “I found it impossible not to dwell on the absurdity of it, that with one tiny clot, one can lose all faculties. It really ate into the writing of the record.” ‘Is it?’ is a lush, sonically splintered album which captures working through moments of seismic shift. 4-panel Digisleeve CD.
