'Fever Dream', the new solo album from Ben Watt is released on Watt's own imprint Unmade Road through Caroline International. It was in 2014 - after sixteen years and nine albums as songwriter-performer-producer with Tracey Thorn in best-selling duo Everything But The Girl, a further ten at the helm of his award-winning electronic label Buzzin' Fly, and a radio residency on BBC 6Music - that Watt returned to his roots as a solo singer and songwriter with 'Hendra', his second album. Arriving thirty-one years after his UK Independent Chart No. 1 debut, it met with wide acclaim at home and abroad for its eloquent lyrics and stripped-back aesthetic; it featured prominently in end-of-year round-ups and pipped Anna Calvi and Blood Orange to win Best 'Difficult' Second Album at the AIM Independent Music Awards 2014. It took Ben Watt 21 years to follow up his first solo album, 'North Marine Drive', with his second, 2014's 'Hendra'. Thankfully, it's a shorter gap to his ecellent third - 'Fever Dream'.
