It's late 1999. Tom Friend, A&R for DB Records, is checking out the XFM Unsigned show in the UK when he hears an entrancing sound coming from his stereo. Crusty 4-track drums, shabby harmonies and a ton of fuzzbox guitar. The band is two brothers (Alex and Thomas White) from Brighton, England. On the strength of this one song, Tom makes the necessary phone calls and is in the rehearsal room with ESP within a week.

From the soft opening tones of ‘No Need To Be Down Hearted (Part 1)’ through the fairy-tale narrative of ‘Woken By A Kiss’ to the piano rock of ‘Cold World’, there’s a universe of sound here, all underpinned by the White Brothers endless harmonies and that feeling that their records somehow come from the future, even when they’re paying homage to Americana or French Cinema, as in ‘Come Back Inside.’

The unceasing energy of these boys shines through in all their endeavors: both continue to play with Eamon Hamilton and Marc Beatty in funktry-punk-disco supergroup Brakes whilst contributing to a number of other Brighton-based projects, too: Alex recording and playing live with noise-harmonists Actress Hands, Tom providing drums for instrumental hip-hop collective Restlesslist. And now, with a brand new album of their own, they’re at it again, this time as space-age power-balladeers and digital terrorist-rockers. The world is still their oyster.
