English muso, author and radio presenter Ben Watt is days away from dropping his solo album, Fever Dream, but has decided to give theMusic.com.au's readers an early chance to listen to the new album in its entirety.

One half of alt rock duo Everything But The Girl, Watt self-produced Fever Dream in London and says the record is about "[wanting] to deepen existing relationships".

Watt adds, "I got back from tour with a few notes for a new book, but life got in the way. Close friends were falling apart, my own relationships were being tested. I found I wanted to capture smaller snapshots about how love shifts over time, what endures, how we cope. And they became songs. Some came out darker and more troubled, others softer and more hopeful. And that then became the album structure. First half heavier, second half lighter. A sense of transformation, rather than just a collection of songs. I hadn’t done that before."

Fever Dream is out on 8 April on Unmade Road via Caroline Australia — check it out below before its release!
