The Whitest Boy Alive caught my attention with their last album Dreams that was released in 2006. I’m not sure if it was their name or the tight music that really caught me, but after listening to their newest work I can confidently affirm that their music is stronger than ever. The group hails from Berlin, but is fronted by Norwegian Erlend Øye of the duo Kings of Convenience. The Whitest Boy Alive strikes out in a different direction from Erlend’s more folkish work with Kings, and their electronic indie pop/rock sound is one of the freshest I have heard this year. I have listened to the album on repeat since it graced my ears, and I encourage you to sample the following track “Island” and not sleep on this album…
The Whitest Boy Alive – Island – Rules
The Whitest Boy Alive – Courage – Rules – Live
