‘Collections From The Whiteout’, meanwhile, has been previewed with four tracks: ‘What A Day’, ‘Crowhurst’s Meme’, ‘Far Out’ and ‘Follies Fixture’.
Ben Howard co-produced the record – described as his “most fully realised to date” – alongside The National‘s Aaron Dessner, who last year helmed Taylor Swift‘s surprise albums ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore’.
