WHITEST BOY ALIVE

Following the rapturous success of last year’s debut album ‘Dreams’ on Modular recordings, The Whitest Boy Alive return for 2009 with their follow up album Rules released on their own label, Bubbles Rules, sounds a little less indie pop than their debut, and perhaps a little more disco - sometimes even a touch of house. The Whitest Boy Alive’s unique sound remains however, with Erlend Oye’s (Kings of Convenience) distinctive vocals and a spare stripped down feel throughout. Rules was recorded in Mexico this summer where the band built a studio in a house by the beach. The sessions, which were only interrupted for surfing and eating, resulted in about 300 different takes of eleven different songs, which now have been sifted down to what you now hear on this album. Whereas its predecessor Dreams was a studio album which had to be taken on stage, Rules works the other way around. This time the band recorded ideas which they gathered during soundchecks and live jams during the 120 gigs they played worldwide during 2007/2008.
