Xylouris White are on the road again this November with dates dotted across the US, Australia and Europe – including two nights at London’s superb Cafe OTO.
Xylouris White’s ‘The Forest in Me’ smacks of confidence and creativity and is happy to shift expectations and deliver a sound so different to previous albums. I’ve enjoyed this duo (trio?) since Goats came along in 2014, but this short, sharp and dynamic project is the one I’ve been waiting for.
Our Song of the Day comes from Xylouris White with Red Wine, their latest single from their new album The Forest In Me. ‘Deep and deconstructed music that will also get ‘em up at weddings!’ Watch the accompanying video by Anna White.
Our Song of the Day is Latin White, the new single from Xylouris White. The short vibrant dance piece is taken from their new album, The Forest In Me. Watch the accompanying video by Rebecca E. Marshall.
Listen to the new cover singles from Bill Callahan and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy – Lou Reed’s ‘Rooftop Garden’ featuring George Xylouris and Little Feat’s ‘I’ve Been The One’ featuring Meg Baird.
Xylouris White’s video for “Ascension”, directed by Shelagh Hannan, relates to the Sisyphean theme of their forthcoming album. The Sisypheans is out on November 8th with a European & US Tour to follow.
Following up on last year’s ‘Mother’, Xylouris White announce their fourth album and Drag City debut – The Sisypheans. Accompanying the announcement was a video for lead single ‘Tree Song’.
Part Two of our Best Folk Albums of 2018 includes Ben Glover, Faeland, Shooglenifty, Brona McVittie, Emma Tricca, Glenn Jones, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage, Rachael McShane, John Smith, Kacy & Clayton and lots more.
Watch the new video from Xylouris White for Daphne (also our Song of the Day). It features both Jim White and George Xylouris’s mothers dancing in their separate homelands. May will see Xylouris White returning to Europe for a tour which includes a residency at London’s Café Oto.
While it is easy to focus on just how unusual Xylouris White’s latest album sounds, what shouldn’t be overlooked is the overwhelming and unexpected emotional impact it carries. Mother is that rare thing: experimental music with a huge heart.
Xylouris White share the video for their single “Only Love”. The incredible animation video was directed by Lucy Dyson. They’ve also announced their upcoming UK/EU tour including a Café Oto residency.
Our Song of the Day comes from Cretan lute player George Xylouris and Australian drummer Jim White of Dirty Three. Forging is taken from their 2016 album Black Peak. Their new album ‘Mother’ is due for release on 19th January 2018 via Bella Union.
