The heroic comeback of Ben Howard: I realised how fragile everything is

His new album, Is It? delights in a more electronic sound, which he began warming to in 2021’s Collections From The Whiteout. “Sometimes when I do an interview I feel like I’m kind of going over the same stuff, because I don’t feel like I’ve changed enormously,” he says. But if a title is anything to go off, Is It? seems to suggest an almost anti-Howard record.
