To round-up an incredible 2011 – which saw his debut album ‘Every Kingdom’ enter the UK charts at #7 and two shows at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire announced (and subsequently sell-out in a matter of weeks) – Ben Howard has unveiled an exclusive Scott Nixon remix of stand-out album track ‘Black Flies’.

Late last month Ben also played a late-night session in Holland, as organised by his European label, alongside his band. As he played ‘Only Love’ a flashmob of local fans appeared from the dark to watch the performance. It’s just been edited together and uploaded to YouTube. You can watch it here:

Ben plays a handful of UK dates in December before setting out on his huge UK tour in February 2012. These include the two headline shows at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire. Support on all-dates comes from Daughter.
