Whitest Boy Alive - Promise Less or Do More
from the new album Rules
I really love the stripped-down feel of the Whitest Boy Alive. His last album was mostly just electric guitar, bass, and drums. He’s added a great Fender Rhodes player to this album though. My obsession with Kings of Convenience spreads to whatever the dudes do solo, and this is the side project of Erlend Øye. Actually it’s probably more of a main project now since Kings of Convenience haven’t made an album in 5 years. Anybody with a slash through the O in their name has to be Norwegian and cool. And by cool I mean skinny and resembling Napoleon Dynamite. Check out this picture of Erland and see for yourself. He lives up to his band name.
