Review

Spin (p.126) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Echoing the scruffy synth pop of early Brian Eno....Williams cobbles together a likably ragtag version of electronica."
Alternative Press (p.188) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t earnestly mixes and matches elements from electronic music and rock's past to conjure fresh reconfigurations of those genres."
Q (Magazine) (p.148) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "He's certainly capable of creating slinky grooves: the spacey beats of 'In The Club' and 'Headlines' evoke Bolan and Bowie..."
Blender (Magazine) (pp.154-155) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[H]e turns into an unholy Brian Eno-philiac, a connoisseur of Kraut-rock throbs and woozy sideways guitar solos..."

Title Note

The "It" boy of the 2007 SXSW festival, White Williams is a laptop balladeer who mimics the minimalist sounds of '80s synth-wavers like Pylon and New Order. These bubbly songs are long on melody, suiting Williams's sonorous croon, and his recording technique seems more about preserving the feel of the original post-punk era rather than making any great production strides: the beats are simple, dotted with Casio bleats and airy chord structures that foreground the vocals and synth hooks. Just 23 years old when he recorded this 2007 debut, Williams accurately appropriates the aesthetics of his birth era, and if it isn't wildly inventive, it is at least a faithful distillation of all that rocked about the '80s underground.
