Ben Heyworth’s new EP “Creatures” is a beautifully honest return, offering three songs that feel as thoughtful as they are musically satisfying. After some time away, Ben comes back sounding more grounded with a voice that’s rich and full of emotion. What stands out right away is how naturally these songs flow. The melodies are warm and inviting and the lyrics tell stories that feel personal without trying too hard. “Narrowboat” is calm and poetic, “Image of Roads” drifts with a dreamlike energy and “Creature Double Feature” is quirky, layered and strangely relatable.
The instrumentals never get in the way, they’re gentle and smart, giving Ben’s voice and lyrics the space to shine. It’s simple music, but it hits deep. Honestly, I think this EP is a quiet gem. It’s the kind of project you grow fonder of with each listen and I truly love Ben’s songwriting and sense of soul.
