Formed in 2003 as an electronic-based group with an emphasis on the dancefloor, the Whitest Boy Alive eventually abandoned all programming and most other forms of synthetic instrumentation for a typical rock band setup. Guitarist/vocalist Erlend Øye (the Kings of Convenience), bassist Marcin Öz, drummer Sebastian Maschat, and keyboardist Daniel Nentwig began playing a form of straightforward and stripped-down indie rock informed by early Talking Heads and Josef K. They released their first album, titled 'Dreams', in 2006 which can be purchased here. Their new album 'Rules' (available for purchase here) is due for release today and I think it sounds just as awesome if not awesomer as their last one. The first 3 tunes are from the new album. next 2 are from 'Dreams' and I thought I would throw in the the Fred Falke remix of golden cage just cuz it's beautiful for sure and just to forshadow a bit for the Fred Falke post coming soon... enjoy :)
