“it can be a vibration sent through a prehistoric breath… the dead, wet leaves you walked through on the way to the first day of school. These are the memories of the drums on this record. Infinite and personal.”
Those were the words of Bill Callahan welcoming All Hits: Memories, the long overdue solo album of Australian drummer Jim White. The album, which was announced with the release of his lead single, Names Make The Name, drops on 23 March via Drag City (Vinyl/CD/Cassette). Today, White shares the music video (made by Anna White) for his second album single ‘Marketplace‘.
Drag City: The tapping of the hi-hat, like signals from typewriters and stock tickers of old, sets the tone for “Marketplace”. Jim sprays staccato energy across the kit, responding on keyboard with a series of motifs and presets; strings, video game (très Space Invaders!) and low reeds. Telegraphing the sound and vision of the marketplace, Anna White’s music video whisks us through a spattering of percussive (J)imagery to broadcast the track’s transient sense of urgency.
