Thomas White - Yalla!

Review by Didz Hammond

Most of the songs here are truly lovely but it’s a bit of a case of them being a nice, pained, sun-kissed treat-of-luck, when any of them come on shuffle. In the pack, they can begin to feel a little anonymous but when dealt out individually they can really brighten an 11-minute wait for the bus.»



Buy now from:

Rough Trade Amazon UK

the first 15 copies come with a 5 track bonus disc 'the world on a wire ep' with individual handmade sleeves (only 50 have been made in total). taking a break from his various other bands and collaborations (including the electric soft parade, brakes, british sea power and patrick wolf) thomas white releases his third solo album 'yalla!' via bleeding hearts recordings. 'yalla!' (meaning, 'let's get going,' in arabic) is perhaps thomas's most unrelentingly personal solo effort to date, utilising just vocal, guitar and the sparest of production, yet somehow saying so much more. one might site mark hollis and billy mackenzie as similar artists who have shunned a deep, varied palate in favour of arrangements that lay bare both singer and song.
