Ben Howard new single "Old Pine" and live dates
Following the 200,000+ sales of his top 10 debut album Every
Kingdom in the UK alone, two sold-outs tours of the US (multiple, and
contemplating a hectic Summer of festival appearances ahead of his
biggest, UK tour to date, Ben finds himself positioned as one of the
most successful young singer-songwriters from the UK and Europe in
years. Old Pine is a woozy, languid song, both cathartic and quietly
euphoric. A long-standing live favourite, Ben’s percussive perfection
is matched with the driving intricacies of his guitar playing and, smoky
controlled voice. Originally released in the Spring of 2011 as an
introductory EP through Communion Records, Old Pine has already played a
crucial part in introducing Ben to a bigger, broader audience. He has
since played to over 80,000 thousand fans at over 120 sold out
performances. His UK tour later this year has now sold in excess of
50,000 tickets alone, culminating in three sell-out nights at London's
Brixton Academy. Ben Howard’s music harks back to a classic and
comforting time of old, albeit with a forward-thinking method of guitar
performance. 2012 has very much been his year, with over six months of
it still to enjoy.
