The groove moves with a careful, almost teasing gait, and while it feels slightly shadowed, it never signals exactly where the song will land.
Curiosity takes over early. The track doesn’t rush; it takes its time, letting the mood settle before revealing its shape.
As the arrangement develops, the song grows step by step. The verses keep things restrained, holding back melody and harmony with intention. However, when the chorus arrives, the track opens up in a way that feels earned. The harmony expands, yet it avoids easy hooks. That choice works in the song’s favor, because it shows Heyworth’s strong instinct for composition rather than chasing quick impact. Also, the contrast between the reserved refrain and the broader chorus adds depth without breaking cohesion.
Sonically, there’s a clear thread of classic rock running through the track. Still, it doesn’t feel retro for the sake of nostalgia. That influence gives the song weight and character. The atmosphere leans toward the nocturnal, yet there’s also something desert-like in its openness, as if the music stretches into wide, empty spaces. That dual feeling creates tension, which keeps the listener engaged.
What stands out further is how the song occasionally pauses. These moments feel deliberate, almost like signposts marking the start of a new chapter. Then the rhythm returns, slightly altered, pushing the track forward again. Because of this structure, the song seems to exist in its own limbo, suspended between motion and stillness. While many tracks aim for constant momentum, this one finds strength in restraint.
Heyworth’s songwriting shines through subtle decisions rather than flashy gestures. The melody lingers because it quietly stays with you. By the end, the track leaves a clear impression of an artist with real vision and control. For listeners who appreciate songs that reveal themselves gradually, “Image of Roads” offers a rewarding experience and marks Ben Heyworth as a talent well worth following.

Liminal!
Ben Heyworth has a long history of making music in Manchester, UK. He was the songwriting force behind the hotly tipped band Minorplanet in the early ’00s and then went on to release two beautiful and experimental electronic pop albums under the name “This Morning Call” in 2010 – 2014, released on the Swedish “Substream” indie label. From May 2025, he is excited to be releasing brand new material under his own name – expect acoustic “urban folk”, indie rock bangers, chill-out post-party relaxers and even the odd country song. New music expected throughout 2026/7.
