Fellow Mancunian Ben Heyworth highlights the very best of the talent, contemplation and magic of the city’s indie musicians, with his latest solo endeavour that is the beautifully organic folk EP Creatures.
Featuring divine folk poetry and melodies that follow an impressively versatile acoustic guitar performance, Narrowboat opens up the Creatures EP in a catchy and compelling way. The imagery and ideas really transport you to somewhere new, the instrumental is gifted as much value as the voice itself, and ultimately the song showcases the power of organic, human-made music and songwriting – at a time when we desperately need to remember and appreciate it.
Three wonderful songs make up the Creatures EP, underlining the diversity of Ben Heyworth’s style, akin to his unrivalled experience from over ten years immersed in music. Great rhythm and smooth vocals, a characterful tone, fascinating and powerfully enchanting lyrics – the poetry and musicianship combined making this an absolute treasure of an indie release.
Definitely check out a live show from Ben Heyworth if the opportunity arises.
