Ben Howard has announced details of a new EP entitled ‘Burgh Island‘ which will be released before 2012 is out.
The EP’s opening track, ‘Esmerelda‘, received its debut earlier this week as part of Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record series on BBC Radio 1, while a Mickey Smith directed video has also been premiered on YouTube.
‘Burgh Island’ is said to showcase a more ‘dark, menacing’ sound when compared to Howard’s Mercury nominated debut album ‘Every Kingdom‘, and will be released on December 10th through Island Records.
Ben Howard begins a sold out tour of the UK tonight (November 2nd) at the Plymouth Pavilions, and is due to continue throughout the month when cities such as Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow and Newcastle will be visited.
The tour will be closed with a three-night stay at the Brixton Academy in London on November 28th, 29th and 30th.
