Popstar Sits Alone At Home Crying Eating Hob​-​Nobs

from Festive Road by Ben Calvert & The Swifts

supported by
/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    CD with 12 page booklet in low-emission, recycled board WeWow Wallet.

    ‘Introspective and often melancholic vocals offer the perfect picture window to redeeming an era of sound from the likes of Nick Drake. The orchestral sounding magic rests with his band who have a rich full sound. Folk music served up with a splash of dark psychedelia.'
    **** Folk Radio UK

    ‘Gentle, lilting lyrics stir up echoes of Belle and Sebastian. The lo-fi production adds a charming intimacy. A great creation.’
    For Folk’s Sake

    ‘Captures gritty scenarios and balls them up into tunes of semi-surreal indie-folk.’
    The Fly

    'The jaunty Valpolicella Girl is a kindred carnival spirit to (The Beatles) Maxwell’s Silver Hammer'
    NetRhythms

    'A stunning collection of melancholic post-folk and classic English story telling all wrapped up in a blanket of strings, organ and piano. Ben possesses a croon that brings to mind Scott Walker, whilst the music ranges from sparse and stripped to near orchestral as The Swifts weave a majestic spell. Festive Road is a mesmeric, enchanting affair showcasing a master craftsman at his very best.' Rhythm ‘N Booze
