This Morning Call – aka Ben Heyworth - is an electronic/pop producer from the UK. Mixing traditional indie balladry with electronic quirks, glitch and ambience, he draws a somber line under the increasingly creative goings on in the electro scene, whilst putting a quiet rocket under the traditional guitar band set-up.
Based in South Manchester, Ben’s unashamedly eclectic and often downbeat style borrows from the likes of Keane, The Postal Service, and A-ha. It’s a new direction in a city already blessed with a rich musical inheritance, an independent spirit and an international reputation.
In 2009, This Morning Call found a home on Substream, Sweden’s finest independent record label, and his debut single “Tides” is due for release on the 19th October 2009 worldwide, as a digital download with exclusive new club mixes. The track has already received radio support and podcasted its way around the net. The mixes, from the likes of Saint Pauli (DE), Supercycle (Canada), and Blue Cell (DE), have turned the original into anthemic, hands-in-the-air, floor fillers.
The debut album “All Quiet At 4AM” is slated for release on CD and digital formats in January 2010 and Ben will be undertaking a short UK tour with a full live band later that month. “We’ve done all sorts of shows in the past”, explains Ben, “and it’s the more innovative stuff that sticks in the mind, like our “Live Art” installation we did for the Futuresonic Festival, where local artists literally painted the audience while they watched the show, and auctioned the resulting canvas”.
