   About Thomas White


THOMAS WHITE "The Maximalist"

CD/Download released 8th March 2010 on Cooking Vinyl Records

"Maximalism believes in life as the most important phenomenon that occupies mankind's thoughts. Life for a Maximalist means actions committed by every moving creature. Further on a Maximalist observes the beauty or the evil of all moving creatures but does not submit or yield negatively to a state of chaos as thinking of all possible movements to be out of man's control. In other words even though knowing it is not the man's decision or desire that makes the world go around, however, it is the lust of life to positively, constructively and playfully continue on being."

..

THOMAS WHITE "I Dream Of Black"

CD/Download released 23rd June 2008 on Drift Records UK and Better Looking Records USA

Ships worldwide from Drift Records Shop Download at iTunes

USA iTunes release: see Better Looking Records

Q Magazine: I Dream Of Black recalls the psychedelic-rock splendour of Spiritualized at their peak. (Q Recommends, ****)

The Independent: This Brightonian (also of The Electric Soft Parade) forges dream-scapes in a DIY spirit on his debut solo album, recorded at home on four-track. The result prizes mood over melody, suggesting languid evenings spent alone in his bedroom. But if you crave heady chin-scratchers ("Will The Moon Ever Rise Again?") in psych pastels, he makes sounds to swim in. (***)

I Dream Of Black Tracklisting:

1. Is It Wrong To Lose Faith In The Person You Used To Love?
2. The Runaround
3. Starry Nite 2
4. The Silence Stops Tonight
5. I Dream Of Black
6. This Is Just A Little Interlude...
7. Starry Nite 3
8. Will The Moon Ever Rise Again?
9. White Wave
10. Wartime Love/Solar Collapse

BRAKES MYSPACE - November UK dates.

BBC 6 Music, Wed 11th Nov, 7pm - Marc Riley's homepage Tonight we've got the wonderful Brakes in session promoting the release of their new live album Rock Is Dodelijk. Listen + Buy

thisisfakediy.co.uk: The strength of a Brakes performance comes from the simple 'four guys assaulting their instruments' idea that rock and roll is born of.

thelineofbestfit.com: Brakes charm is that their rough and readiness makes their fiery sets what they are. They’re a tight band who portray the image that these often short, usually ramshackle songs could fall apart at any moment.

thedwarf.com.au: Rock Is Dodelijk is a testament to the stripped- down bare aesthetics of the band and does well to capture the ‘fuck you’ spirit that makes Brakes so goddamn loveable.

popmatters.com: Brakes captures something of a Libertines-esque ramshackle quality with these live cuts. Everybody’s right on queue, but there’s a loose, free-wheeling sense about it all that suggests rocking out in this manner is not only a hell of a good time, but what they were born to do.
