I found Whitey through extended listening of the Glimmers mixes. I especially like The Glimmers' take on Leave Them All Behind. But, they shine most on this album, with standout tracks "Y.U.H.2.B.M.2" and "A Walk In The Dark / Reprise."
Whitey is one of my favorites. This is his best album, in my opinion. It is definitely worthy of repeated listenings.
I found this album in a box of free promos and picked it because of the cover. I love how off my expectations were. "Intro" has made it into a number of mixed tapes for my friends. I can't wait to hear more from him.
I don't really know who they are, but I like this album a lot.
haha, i discovered these guys in berkeley looking for a band called "the weepies." if you've heard of that band, you'll laugh with me about how far these two groups are on the music spectrum. it was a real surprise and i haven't been able to find there music in a lot of other places. whitey is good.
There is an intensity and -- tightness -- to this album that earns several tracks an honored position in my obsessive-compulsive auto-repeat playlist. Playing "Y.U.H.2.B.M.2" and "A Walk In The Dark / Reprise" back-to-back is enough to get you through manic-writing episodes as well as intense painting sessions. Whitey is mighty. A few of the slower tracks take me down a notch, so all I can say relative to those is, thank goodness for playlists. Still, I'd recommend buying the full album, for exposure to their breadth-scope... My '80s music vocab is escaping me right now, but I'm also feeling bass-line vibes from certain pre-goth deep dance bands...maybe even a Bauhaus-ian influence..."Dark Entries" type vibes seeping through...(??)
