Music Monday: Whitey
Whitey is a bit of a mystery man. With two full albums and a MySpace page, the Briton is primed to take over your local dancefloor.
Having released “The Light At The End of The Tunnel Is A Train” last year, Whitey managed to give us an idea of what his aesthetic is. The best way to describe said aesthetic is music underlined by dark, heavy and complex beats highlighted with a light attitude, mainly though his vocals; this reads pretty stale and broad, but it’s accurate.
The description rings truest with his latest work, “Great Shakes.” You get all of Whitey’s dimensions emphasized at one point or another: the guitarist, the lyricist, the synth-seducer. His second coming is really his strongest. “Great Shakes” has excellent production value and genius melodies, each of which is relatively easy to find in most albums, but rarely both.
Whitey is actually one of the few musically unique acts to recently pop up in the limelight. You know that old commerical: “You got CHOCOLATE in my peanut butter!” “You got PEANUT BUTTER on my chocolate!” Well, substitute “chocolate” for “rock” and “peanut butter” for “electro,” and congratualtions: you’ve got yourself a Whitey.

The “Wrap It Up” EP is available as of yesterday on iTunes with the exclusive track “Head in the Corner”. No one has heard this one yet, and Cigarette and Wrap It Up have been mixed, mastered and sound much better than the versions here.
