About Me



THOMAS WHITE
"I Dream Of Black" Released 23rd June 2008
Ships worldwide from Drift Records Shop Download at iTunes
USA iTunes release: see Better Looking Records
Q Magazine: I Dream Of Black recalls the psychedelic-rock splendour of Spiritualized at their peak. (Q Recommends, ****)
The Independent: This Brightonian (also of The Electric Soft Parade) forges dream-scapes in a DIY spirit on his debut solo album, recorded at home on four-track. The result prizes mood over melody, suggesting languid evenings spent alone in his bedroom. But if you crave heady chin-scratchers ("Will The Moon Ever Rise Again?") in psych pastels, he makes sounds to swim in. (***)
