Ben Marwood

Get Found Ben Marwood

Since his debut album in 2011 **Ben Marwood** has built up a devoted cult following and tours with *Frank Turner*. However after the recording of the sophomore album, a time ensued when Ben wasn't sure he'd ever be able to or even want to play music again, 2014-15 the year when he "had to embrace horizontal living" due to an intense illness. Yet here we are, in 2017, about to warmly welcome another **Ben Marwood** record. The album doesn't stray far from its roots but plays with them tenderly as a pedal steel aches, the piano plays andante as the most uplifting-sounding choruses about death you've heard yet fill the songs. There are lots of calls to 'stand up' in the climate we're in, to do something, to not just be. Ben Marwood's insistence on standing up, even to the point of falling down, is a reminder to keep going.
