actually I just remember a similar argument... a while ago I started a thread in this section about David Gray, and that got moved to pop, which imho is wrong We don't have a POP forum

2nd song on Jools Holland, not sure he didn't do the current single, guess he is more interested in promoting the album

Single should make the top 40 which would be good promo for the album as well.

Bump! 2 new songs + interview tonight at Zane Low (in 30 min actually)... premiering the new Burgh Island EP. I've heard the live version of Burgh Island and it's quite the chill out track, very different from the stuff off Every Kingdom

Ben Howard is pleased to announce the details of his forthcoming release, 'The Burgh Island' EP, which will be released through Island Records on vinyl in early December 2012.
At the end of this summer, after a solid year of touring, Ben retreated to Devon to a remote studio on the Start Point peninsula to lay down The Burgh Island EP. It's an entirely new record that finds him ditching his acoustic guitar and taking things electric. There’s a darkness and introspective delivery that makes for a vivid listen throughout the EP.
SIDE A: 1. Esmerelda 2. Oats In The Water 3. To Be Alone 4. Burgh Island
Buy the Digital EP from Wed 31 Oct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
led track: Esmeralda

its certainly less commercial with more edge than the album but not sure about the lead track need to hear it more.

like it more now after hearing it 3/4 times but it´s still not very commercial, so makes sense to release it as a "one-off EP"

I'm liking Oats in the water when I've heard it. Sounding even more like Damien Rice now.

Finally saw him live last night, all kinds of amazing and spectacular, more rock than i was expecting did many tracks on electric guitar including the new ep songs. The encore with Oaths in the water/Promise was incredible, goosebumps!!!

Some clips from the gig at Vega in Copenhagen, last of the 2012 tour a crazy version of Keep Your Head Up, you'll see he's more rock than folk live the amazing Under the Same Sun, where he plays the guitar like doing percussion, and a very emotional Promise
