Editorial Reviews

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2014 release, the second studio full-length album from the singer/songwriter. Although Ben Howard often gets compared to Nick Drake or John Martyn, he was raised on his parents' Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell records. Howard's 2011 debut album EVERY KINGDOM received much critical acclaim.

I want to start out by saying that I am a tremendous fan of Ben's previous work on Every Kingdom and The Burgh Island EP. His talent and his ability to play passionately and connect with his fans is inspiring. He is truly a wonderful musician in this modern time. I am fortunate to have known about him for awhile and have been looking forward to this upcoming release.

This new album is radically different in presentation than his previous work. I was enthralled upon my first listen with this album. My wife and I specifically waited until after work and dinner tonight to sit down for a serious listen. From the first moments of this album I was drawn in. The soundscape that is painted is so immersive and alive it is impossible to not be engulfed into his world of music. I was able to connect with this music almost instantly. Sitting back and soaking in the complex and sprawling sound I am able to hear the quality of song writing in this album.

I have come to appreciate a certain level of song writing from Ben Howard from his previous work. He does not disappoint in this latest release. The lyrics are unique and paint imagery that is palpable and at the same time unique in his expression of his experience. Ben is so passionate in his delivery that I feel when his music is playing at my house he is giving it his all. Truly an enjoyable and re-playable album. One of the best releases of 2014 in my opinion.

Overall I am quite satisfied with this release. I was shown some new talent from Ben and what he is capable of. I felt the tone of the album was a refreshing change from his other work. This album merits an appreciation of its own without the support of Ben's previous work. What a refreshing new album from a truly talented artist. I look forward to each additional listen of this new album. Thanks so much for a great new album!

I bought this album when it first came out in 2014. It took me 6 months to finally listen to the entire album all the way through and I can tell you it's hands down one of the best albums in any genre I've ever heard. I have not stopped listening for the past 3 years. I've made countless playlists with songs from this album on it and it's always his songs that people ask me about. This album is a work of genius. Each song is an entire story in and of itself. I count the minutes until he releases another masterpiece. Brilliant album, it will draw you in and not let you go.

Every now and again I come across an artist(s) that blows me away. Ben Howard is one of them. My life would not be the same had I not happened across a documentary using one of his songs (Black Flies). He, and the artists he surrounds himself with are amazingly, talented, deep, dark, multi-faceted, refreshingly brilliant. His lyrics, his voice, the depth and layering of the instruments, the harmony... I could go on and on. Each song tells a story, it twists and turns, providing both sad and happy, but always deep, visions and ideas. I am in love with Ben Howard's art. If you like music, do yourself a favor and listen. Both albums and all eps live and studio are beyond worth every cent.

Old joke time. Stop me if you've heard this: What's the difference between a singer-songwriter and a puppy? Eventually, the puppy with STOP whining. Yes, I know. So, Ben Howard. He is a singer-songwriter who does that angsty thing of I'm-so-deep-and-angsty, and listen to my atmospheric music, and don't you want to comfort me?

But... I'm giving this four stars. I obviously liked this album. Normally, I don't go in for this kind of thing, which is why I started with the puppy-songwriter joke. Mostly, I don't listen to folksy, indie-rock, or whatever. I honestly don't judge you if you do, but it just isn't my thing. My bias is to the instrumental side of things.

There are interesting things going on here with the guitar, with some crafty fingerpicking, and some nice interweaving of the acoustic guitar with effects. That normally doesn't impress me. However, the dynamic range within the songs here has actual structure, thought out and everything, rather than just being thrown together because it can be. Howard's voice? He still does the I'm-so-sensitive-and-angsty thing that a lot of singer-songwriters do, and the lyrics... whatever. Bluntly, this isn't how I assess most music. If it matters to you, you can read the lyrics online elsewhere, and decide for yourself if they matter to you.

Sonically, though, I was more impressed than I expected to be. That Monica Heldal connection, as it turned out, worked!

This isn't to say that the album is free of sonic clichés, or that the instrumental work is the most virtuosic around, but if you are reading a review of this album, that's likely not what you are looking for anyway. If you are bothering to read this, take it as another data point, from someone who idiosyncratically cares more about sound than lyrics.

Point being, it's good. Good enough that someone who is not the normal audience for this album actually likes it, even if prone to making the singer-songwriter/puppy joke.

I recently discovered Ben Howard through "My recommendations" on Amazon and it's been about 2 months and I can't get enough of his music. I Forgot Where We Were is one of the best CDs I've heard in years. Ben's style and originality sets him in a class by himself. The various things he does with a guitar are rare to see from one guitarist and each song has its own sound but still in the overall vibe of the entire CD. I can't put a label on what his style is, nor would I want to but find his music very grounding yet with an honest vibe that is unique on each song. I hope everyone else finds the genius and soulfulness that he delivers so well!

Such a great album. So glad I got it on vinyl. The album is full of songs that you just got to hear again, ones that I wake up in the morning & it’s already playin in my head. Got it digitally originally & fell in love from the first full album listen, and they just got better & better.

You've got to feel bemused for Ben Howard, reading some of the more negative fan responses to this title on Amazon. His breakthrough debut record 'Every Kingdom' went multi-platinum thanks to its beautifully-written, acoustically-driven upbeat tracks. For sure, 2/3rds of that album was undeniably catchy and tracks such as 'Wolves' and 'Keep Your Head Up' had a definite commercial edge that put him on the map both at home and state-side. Most importantly, he left fans (myself included) whet with anticipation for another slice of his delightful folk-rock surfer cake. Which is why I imagine Mr. Howard was really in a spot when approaching this difficult second album. In my mind he had two options. He could either have carbon-copied the successful production of 'Every Kingdom', albeit with the risk of not quite hitting the same standard and pulling the same tired tricks out of the bag. Or Option 2 - he could progress in an entirely new direction. Thankfully, Ben Howard chose the latter. Unlike many mainstream artists Ben Howard owns the Publishing and Copyrights for his songs, and is therefore freed from being a puppet for a major label. Hence, I imagine he was under little pressure to keep to the tried and trusted 'sound' or 'magic formula' of record number one. Unfortunately, there seems to exist a mysterious unwritten commandment within popular music to stay firmly inside the box one has created for oneself. With 'I Forget Where We Were' the Devonshire singer-songwriter doesn't just take a tepid foot outside of the box – he shatters the mould entirely. If 'Every Kingdom' was Ben Howard having a beach-party surfing in the blazing sun, then 'I Forget...' is Ben Howard alone in a cave on a cold autumn's night with the tide creeping in. Acoustic guitar is traded for atmospheric electric guitar, which immediately imparts a darker more brooding sound. Oh yes, he's found his effects pedal. On first listen 'Rivers In Your Mouth' is equally as radio-friendly as anything off the debut, but as you venture further down the playlist you realise that this is a much deeper encounter full of substance. The Title Track and 'The End Of The Affair' are examples of a strong onion – one that leaves you crying as you peel back the layers. This is why 'I Forget We Were Were' is incomparable to 'Every Kingdom'. The latter was a well-liked but shallow friend. Now the man has matured. The artist has progressed. Hence, this LP must be treated as a separate entity. In its own right 'I Forget...' is hands-down the most haunting, delicately penned concept album I ever heard. This work takes Ben Howard into the realm of songwriting genius. Lyrically brilliant and breathtakingly well-produced. From the opener 'Small Things' through to the finale of 'All Is Now Harmed' it is an audio balm that washes over one's soul as if one is lost in the very depths of the ocean itself. You will find yourself out at sea, swimming with the dolphins or drowning in a storm. Let the music take you under. Don't fight it. Embrace the experience and it will leave you transformed. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to forget.
