Ben Howard has announced his fourth album: Collections From The Whiteout. The news came last night with a first play of lead single 'What A Day' on Annie Mac's radio show, which now has its own video too.

The visuals for 'What A Day' show a group of Tories on a shooting trip as rabbits scatter in fear. We think Mr. Ben Howard might be a bunny fan, considering how the video ends up...

The song itself is a gentle lullaby that fans of Howard have come to expect - it uses tape loops and gentle guitar strums to carry itself along:

On the video, Howard said: "This was a nonsense idea loosely thrown together on the Old English rhyme, ‘back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other’ with a bit of animal hysteria thrown in."
