INFO
Whitest Boy Alive is Erlend Öye’s new band based in Berlin. They’ve left the electronic music to again find the sound of a group of people actually playing together, thus having recorded the album live in their studio without layering, editing or effects. There is the guitar, the bass, the drums and the voice. And the result is astonishing.
Erlend’s breezy yet intimate voice and every tone get the same amount of room and care in this airy and personal ten song production. And each and every song is as strong, making “Dreams” an outstanding album.
Still the band’s background in club music can’t be missed: the song structures are reminding of club tracks rather than traditional pop melodies, thus deconstructing and exploring rather than immitating a nd reproducing.
A truly original pop band making the simplest sounding songs the hardest way, making us feel the beautiful sounds of human interaction again.
