Ben Howard

Heyo, talk about a heavy-hitting team! "Hot Heavy Summer" comes as a sort of "B-side" off Ben Howard's recently-released album Noonday Dream.  It has a dreamy and easy-going folk feel to it -- the type of folk song you'd want to listen to while Summer fades to Autumn. Fortunately for those of us down in South Africa, the opposite is happening -- and yet, this song still manages to pluck the right strings for me.
