Is It? is the 2023 studio album from Ben Howard, a record that finds him exploring new sonic territory with a blend of alternative rock, ambient textures, and introspective folk. Written after a period of personal upheaval, the album carries a dreamlike, reflective quality—layered synths, drifting rhythms, and Howard’s unmistakable vocal warmth.

Tracks like “Couldn’t Make It Up”, “Walking Backwards”, and “Days of Lantana” showcase his shift toward more experimental structures, while pieces such as “Richmond Avenue” and “Spirit” bring emotional clarity and melodic depth.
This limited edition European pressing comes on blue translucent vinyl, offering a visually striking presentation of one of Howard’s most atmospheric works.
