Released 26th March.

Produced alongside Aaron Dessner (The National, Sharon Van Etten, Taylor Swift), Collections From The Whiteout heralds the first time Ben has opened the door to production outside of he and his bands closer confines.

The foreboding darkness that coated Bens second record I Forget Where We Were and thinly veiled its follow up Noonday Dream, isnt so evident on Collections.. These are songs written from headlines scanned, or news stories scrolled past. Ben has taken those snippets and let his curiosity take control, creating an aural scrapbook that reverberates with tape loops and guitar FXs.

There are sounds akin to Brian Eno, Durutti Column and Steve Reich in there, but also Neil Young and Townes Van Zandt. Its a million miles away from Bens multi-platinum selling debut, but a path plotted from Bens then to his now isnt so far removed.

The door was also left open to some new players too. Yussef Daye
