After the overwhelming critical acclaim heaped upon their debut album Dreams, The Whitest Boy Alive return with one of the LP's pivotal tracks, Golden Cage. A song that is the perfect soundtrack to winter with its dreamlike tones.Like the rest of the album, Golden Cage was recorded entirely live without any multi-tracking and is based on the kind of slinking, low-strung groove that typifies the band and their sound.The multi-award winning accompanying video was created by the incredible artist Geoff McFetridge who also creates the opening sequences for Sophia Coppola's films. The Whitest Boy Alive's debut UK show in October was stunning. No one from Modular or the band had a clue they'd get such a turnout or response, especially on a rainy Tuesday night for a band who hadn't at the time released a note of music locally.Through just word of mouth the perimeter of Hoxton Square was snaked with a huge line of people hours before their performance time at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen.However, those who did manage to get in saw a band who fully deserve their acclaim.
Performing songs from their debut album alongside great covers, including a great interpretation of Robyn's Show Me Love, they delighted a loud and brilliant audience.
And the word keeps spreading. Their 1,400 capacity London's Electric Ballroom sold out in no time and tickets are on sale for over £40 a pop online.
