Storm Damage

Across 4 decades Ben Watt has maintained a committed forward looking course, from the ardent echo drenched folk of his early solo work with Robert Wyatt, through 17 years as musical mainspring and co-lyricist in the best selling Everything But the Girl with Tracey Thorn, and 10 at the helm of his smart electronic label Buzzin' Fly, to his more recent moving non fiction and mid life solo albums, the award winning "Hendra" in 2014 and "Fever Dream" in 2016. "Storm Damage" is Watt's 4th solo album. Sonically adventurous, lyrically detailed and engaged, the album, written and produced by Watt himself, is a personal journey through anxiety and change cut through with an insistent defiance.
