"The Fear" sits on Every Kingdom, Ben Howard's 2011 debut, and it was made by a small circle of hands. Howard wrote it alone and plays acoustic guitar and melodica as well as singing lead, while Chris Bond, who produced it with Jason Howes, covers drums, percussion, more guitar and backing vocals, with India Bourne also singing backup. Cenzo Townshend mixed it.
It went out as a UK single on CD and download that December, though the video had been up on YouTube since June. It kept travelling after that: a year later, Belgium certified it gold, and "The Wolves" came next.
