We received an advance copy of Ben Williams’ upcoming acoustic album Minimum Of Fuss in the post (together it has to be said with a very welcome Kit Kat and Earl Grey teabag for enhanced listening pleasure). It is the Manchester based singer-songwriter’s third album and it is out on the 5th April.

It is a beautifully released easygoing mix of the intimate, the poignant and the playful – so, stick the kettle on, relax and take a listen to the stripped back Search Team, which is a perfect example of his laid-back style and calls to mind the early days of A.A. Bondy or Jack Johnson.

Order via Bandcamp here.
