Jim White - No Such Place - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

For his second solo album, master drummer Jim White travels further into expressionist landscapes of private meditation; his vehicle, an evocative duet of keyboards and drums alongside his debut as a vocalist. Translating his formidable percussive intuitions through this dialogue has given Jim a fresh compositional voice. Inner Day is like a state of nature, evoking peace and tension, rest and disquiet, all aloft on the wind of new discovery. Album Tracks 1. Deathday 2. What's Really Happening 3. The Titles 4.

Jim's big green eyes search for the right tool (mallet, brush, etc), search you like you're a song he wants to see if he can add to. The trap kit - so straightforward, so mysterious. Air and light, a vibration sent through prehistoric breath, particles of Saturn's atmosphere, the dead, wet leaves you walked through... The first day of school... [All Hits Memories] sets time free, [to] frolic, graze, and remember. - Bill Callahan Album Tracks 1. Curtains 2. Percussion Build 3. Marketplace 4. Soft Material 5. St. Francis Place Set Up 6. Uncoverup 7. Walking the Block 8. Jully 9. Long Assemblage 10. Names Make the Name 11. No/Know Now 12. Stationary Figure 13. Here Comes

WHERE IT HITS YOU finds Jim White in full musical stride, effortlessly blending genres and approaches in ways that sometimes boggle the mind. But as White's work has shown over the arc of his career, despite the experimental extremes he recklessly embraces, there's always a cohesive, singular identity that holds the divergent influences together.
