Whitest Boy Alive follow their own rules: no overdubs, no FX, and the music is always recorded live in one take. Fronted by Erlend Øye (of Kings Of Convenience notoriety), the Berlin collective produce a distinctive blend of minimalist melodies and pillowy grooves. And on the eleven tracks that constitute their new album, Rules, they convey one polite directive: please, move your body. We have their latest single, Island [listen below], available for free download in the Music Download section of the Lost At E Minor site [pssst, it's in the third column], along with new releases by Vic Chestnutt, Winter Gloves, and Cut Off Your Hands.

The intro reminds of Nina Simone’s Sinnerman.

erlend øye is quite the genius… i mean, he can rock out as a dj, he can play mellow soulful tunes as part of KoC, while also fronting something as amazing as whitest boy alive!
i love it. i hope they tour in the near future.
