Everything But The Girl's Ben Watt To Release First Solo LP In 30 Years

One half of popular '90s alternative pop duo Everything But The Girl, Ben Watt has announced he'll be releasing his first solo album in 30 years.

Watt will unveil the new record, titled Hendra on Friday 11 April via Unmade Records/Caroline and has been described by the muso as a "folk-rock record in an electronic age."
