Keaton Henson releases his third studio album, Kindly Now, via Play It Again Sam.

The album opens with 'March', which electronically manipulates Henson's vocals to speed things up as the music marches on at a cracking rate. This is followed by the mellow and beautiful ‘Alright’, which describes a very English way of grinning through pain.

'Alright' sets the bar for what is to come. It's a slow, beautiful, melancholy that spreads its net far and wide - with highlights including 'No Witnesses'; 'Comfortable Love'; 'Polyhymnia'; and the closer 'How Could I Have Known'.

The album contains 12 tracks (47 min, 35 sec) and if you're a fan of slow, beautiful tracks then you'll fall in love with Kindly Now.
