The single that precedes new album 'Paul White & The Purple Brain' sees Paul White deconstruct the works of Swedish multi-instrumentalist's S.T. Mikael. What he doe's with the source material is immense. Armed with just a sampler, a few studio tools and a vast imagination pool Paul White has concocted a heavy mix of psychedia, hard-rock, eastern groove and afro-beat sounds to create one of the strangest club bangers i've heard in a while. All high octane chants, compressed live beats and crazy organ grinding, 'My Guitar Whales' is an absolute treat. 'My Bright Future' also oozes creative charm. Based around a plucky little piano line and infested with all sorts of sample interludes and top off with a rad bassline....what more could you ask for? Ace.‘My Guitar Whales’ is the first single from Paul White’s second album, P’aul White & The Purple Brain’. A psychedelic stripped-down banger, it mixes an Eastern-influenced organ hook, rock hard drums, fuzzy synth bass and delirious chanting to mesmerising effect. On the flip, ‘The Bright Future’ twins a naggingly catchy piano refrain with tumbling drums and the quirky touches that give White’s music so much character. A collaboration of sorts, ‘Paul White & The Purple Brain’ is based around and inspired by the work of little-known Swedish psych-rock guru S.T. Mikael. Having been granted access to Mikael’s back catalogue, Paul White found a unique source of inspiration and challenged himself to create an album using the Swedish multi-instrumentalist’s work as the sole basis for his output. The result is an endlessly inventive showcase of what’s possible when armed with just a sampler, a few studio toys and a fertile imagination, marking a significant step forward from 2009’s cult hit debut ‘The Strange Dreams Of Paul White’.
