Collections From The Whiteout marks Ben Howard’s fourth studio album, showcasing his evolution as an Indie Folk artist. Collaborating with the talented Aaron Dessner, known for his work with The National and Taylor Swift, this album represents a fresh direction for Ben. The shadows of his earlier works, like I Forget Where We Were, are replaced by vibrant sounds that emerge from news stories and headlines.
Crafted through curiosity, this album is an aural scrapbook filled with intricate tape loops and innovative guitar effects, echoing influences from Brian Eno to Neil Young. Notably, Ben welcomes new talents like Yussef Dayes, a pioneer in jazz drumming, and Kate Stables from This Is The Kit, enriching the album with diverse musical perspectives. This collection is not just a continuation of Ben’s journey; it’s a bold step into new territory, while still holding onto the essence of his earlier, multi-platinum debut.
