Collections From The Whiteout marks a bold and experimental turn for Ben Howard, blending his introspective songwriting with rich, layered production. Collaborating with producer Aaron Dessner, Howard moves beyond the acoustic roots of his earlier work to explore a more textured, electronic-infused soundscape.
The album is full of abstract storytelling and cryptic imagery, drawing inspiration from news stories, personal experiences, and fictional narratives. Sonically adventurous yet emotionally grounded, it weaves together folk, ambient, and indie rock influences into something both familiar and refreshingly new.
This is an album that rewards deep listening, offering a more fragmented, artful reflection of the world—complex, poetic, and uniquely Ben Howard.
