I'd say this album is more subdued than the last and there are some big and amazing instrumentals in there that will pull hard at your heartstrings. I love that it allows you to sit back and reflect on things as you listen...

I feared the album might be a bit too doom-and-gloom for me, but some of the songs, such as Time Is Dancing makes me feel a glimmer of hope and motivation. Ben's vocals, whether soft, frustrated or angry (End of the Affair!?), are always so filled with passion and I think that really brings this album to life. I just can't stop listening!

The whole record is completely amazing, but definitely check out In Dreams, Time Is Dancing, End of the Affair and Conrad - they are my favourites!

I hope you're having a happy Monday! Is anyone listening to Ben Howard as you read this? ;)
