Whitest Boy Alive follow their own rules: no overdubs, no FX, and the music is always recorded live in one take.

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.
