John Howard - For Those That Wander By (2025)

When John Howard and Robert Cochrane conspire to create music, they don't just write songs – they craft sonic poetry that floats somewhere between earthly delights and celestial whispers. "For Those That Wander By" marks their first collaboration since 2005's "The Dangerous Hours," and like fine wine and lasting friendships, some things only get better with time. Lead single "Losing Myself In Others" perfectly exemplifies this elegant metamorphosis, where literary precision meets musical inspiration in a waltz of words and melody.

This isn't just an album; it's a series of musical short stories, each one dressed in arrangements so lush they make velvet feel underdressed. It's sophisticated pop for people who read poetry at breakfast, theatrical rock for those who treat life as an ongoing performance, and art music for anyone who's ever gotten lost in a painting at the Tate. Whether you're a longtime wanderer in Howard's musical landscape or a newcomer seeking shelter from mundane melodies, "For Those That Wander By" offers a passport to somewhere altogether more enchanting.
