Paul White – ‘My Guitar Whales’ // The Bright Future PREVIEW [Listen]
Friday, March 26th, 2010Posted by Nickname
Sorry, these aren’t up for download yet, but here’s the first single, ‘My Guitar Whales’ taken from Paul White’s forthcoming album ‘Paul White & The Purple Brain’. A psychedelic stripped-down banger, it mixes an Eastern-influenced organ hook, rock hard drums, fuzzy synth bass and delirious chanting to mesmerising effect.
On the flip, The Bright Future twins a naggingly catchy piano refrain with tumbling drums and the quirky touches that give White’s music so much character.
Don’t forget to download the first official giveaway ‘Ancient Treasure’ from the album in my previous post here.
A collaboration of sorts, Paul White & The Purple Brain is based around and inspired by the work of little-known Swedish psych-rock guru S.T. Mikael. Having been granted access to Mikael’s back catalogue, Paul White found a unique source of inspiration and challenged himself to create an album using the Swedish multi-instrumentalist’s work as the sole basis for his output. The result is an endlessly inventive showcase of what’s possible when armed with just a sampler, a few studio toys and a fertile imagination and marks a significant step forward from 2009’s cult hit ‘The Strange Dreams of Paul White’.
