Ben Howard returns today with three brand new songs, written and recorded during the sessions for his recently acclaimed third album, Noonday Dream.
One of the new songs ‘Hot Heavy Summer’ features a collaboration with American electro pop duo Sylvan Esso, and last night featured as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on Radio 1.
Ben has to say on the tracks:
“The recording sessions for Noonday Dream were so varied and over quite a period of time. There were little gems that we didn’t know what to do with but it felt right to put these 3 together, both separate and a part of the album so to speak.”
Listen to all three tracks here:

Ben will hit a series of arenas and multiple nights in sizeable rooms in the UK this December, ahead of three nights at Brixton Academy in January 2019.
