Simone White - Silver Silver '2012

Tracks list

       "[Simone White] gets innovative on her impressive third album [Silver
Silver]. An album of cathartic intimacy ...built around electronic textures and
sparse percussion, with White's gently yielding, half-spoken vocals pitched,
pleasingly, equidistant between Laurie Anderson and Joni Mitchell. It's not all
Spartan fare; the title track, an ostensibly folky duet with Andrew Bird, surfs
a hum of woozy electronics and makes room for Steve Reich-like interleaved
string pizzicatos and heavily treated drums, while Big Dreams And The Headlines
summons a sudden, soaring chorus from the pervading spell-like quietude."
Four star review, - MOJO

"The beguiling Los Angeles-based singer Simone White is known as much for her
whispered vocals as for her smart songwriting. Her latest video animates "In The
Water Where The City Ends," an intentionally disjointed song off her new album
Silver Silver, meant to recall the tsunami that submerged Japan's Tohuku region
on this day last year."
-THE HUFFINGTON POST

"White's voice is a delicate instrument, more traditional-sounding than Joanna
Newsom's but with a similar ability to interpret lyrics with deceptive and
revealing ease. The arrangements she favors on record are of the organic, earthy
variety, like vintage Lanois..." -LA WEEKLY

"Soft-voiced L.A. musician Simone White is the only singer-songwriter signed to
Damon Albarn's eclectic Honest Jon's label, and her singular talents are evident
on her haunting latest album, Silver Silver. […] the lean-in-to-listen
compositions is what makes her performances so captivating."
