We recently shared the great news that Cretan lute player George Xylouris and Australian drummer Jim White of Dirty Three are back once again as Xylouris White on 14th April with their new album, The Forest In Me (Drag City). Alongside that announcement, they shared their first single, Latin White, a short dance piece with a hypnotic celebratory undertone.
Today, they are sharing their new single ‘Red Wine‘, accompanied by a video by Anna White. If their music was a wine? Drag City suggest a varietal that is full-bodied and pours easy, with generosity.
Measures of Greek dance song squeeze through Giorgos‘ guitar lines, while Jim‘s stolid-yet-spare drum parts play against type, establishing a minimalist framework that eventually draws Giorgos out into a disarmingly open space. Deep and deconstructed music that will also get ‘em up at weddings!
The video, directed by Anna White, provides the perfect backdrop for the song with its dynamic portrait of nature, flawlessly capturing the energy of life and activity in the outback. It’s also our Song of the Day.
