Ben Howard returns with his 4th album, Collections From The Whiteout, produced alongside Aaron Dessner (The National). The foreboding darkness that coated Ben’s second record I Forget Where We Were and thinly veiled its follow up Noonday Dream, isn’t so evident on Collections. These are songs written from headlines scanned, or news stories scrolled past, providing inspiration for a selection of vivid narrative snapshots – the death of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst (Crowhurst’s Meme); Russian fraudster Anna Sorokin (Sorry Kid); the man who stole and crashed a plane in Seattle (The Strange Last Flight Of Richard Russell); and the dismembered body a friend of his father found in a suitcase floating along the Thames (Finders Keepers). Alongside them, the personal anecdotes from the same scattered period living between Paris, Devon and Spain. Yussef Dayes features, as does Kate Stables (This Is The Kit), James Krivchenia (Big Thief), Kyle Keegan (Hiss Golden Messenger), and Dessner. Thomas Bartlett, St. Vincent’s go-to pianist, and Rob Moose, a long-standing arranger of strings for Bon Iver, are also present. Long-term guitarist to Ben’s band, Mickey Smith (A Blaze of Feather), remains a reassuring constant. It’s a sonic adventure that continues this nagging suggestion that Ben is one of the UK’s most inventive and naturally talented songwriters. CFTW is his latest opus, and arguably his most fully realised to date.

A passionate ‘Cinematic Singer-Songwriter’ & ‘Orchestral Composer’ with a love for effects pedals, dynamic vocals and fender telecasters. Josh’s music takes you to space with celestial soundscapes and brings you right back down to your front room. His lyrics lead you through internal thoughts & short stories. Churning out instrumentals which are filmic and textural.   

Josh’s solo pursuit all started after a tragic end in his previous project. Josh’s drummer & friend passed away. A long-time collaborator and a musician who saw eye to eye with Josh.  Time stood still for a while…  then with the right intentions, Josh brushed off the dust, caught his breath and started to write again. He had no real expectations anymore but had steely creative ambitions. New music started to flood in once again, for Josh it was like a huge light at the end of the tunnel. Between firing up an assortment of ambient guitar effects, using moving lyrics and adding huge orchestral arrangements to envelop his telecasters and vocals. Josh has a unique style that can send you on a journey.   Quoting influences such as ‘Jeff Buckley’, ‘Johann Johannsson’ & ‘Fink’. 

Josh is setting out to deliver his stamp of cinematic singer-songwriter music.
