The Whitest Boy Alive

The extremely shy dance group is still very much alive seventeen years after its last album.

Inspiration comes on horseback, but goes on foot. The Whitest Boy Alive released its only two full-length albums in 2006 (Dreams) and 2009 (Rules), a period in which Erlend Øye was also quite busy with his band Kings of Convenience. Since then, the formation has been burning on a low flame and ignites mainly when the stars are aligned. And their snow-white disco sound really does ignite. Seen from Berlin and Bergen, the cities of origin, hit(s) like 'Burning' and '1517' sound quite subtropical. The Northern European heat is in the 3 travel-ready guitar lines, the playful organs of Daniel Nentwig, and especially Øye's quirky voice, which beams at you like a polar day.
