The Whitest Boy Alive is one of my favorite band. I first hear about them in 2006 and got really excited because Erlend Oye from indie folk duo Kings of Convenience is the vocalist and guitarist of this band. If you don't know, I'm a big big fan of Kings of Convenience and Erlend Oye is one of my favorite vocalist in the world. His soothing voice always manage to calm me down whenever I felt angry, sad or sentimental. I even think that he's sexy, even thought my friends laugh at me for liking a skinny man with geeky spectacles.
This band was started as an electronic dance music project
in 2003. It has slowly developed into a band without any programmed
elements. The members are:
- erlend øye – guitar and vocals
- marcin oz – bass
- sebastian maschat – drums
- daniel nentwig – rhodes and crumar
They already released 2 albums, Dreams in 2006 and Rules in 2009. I really love their music. You should hear them too! It's too bad that we're not going to hear new music from them. Exactly a month ago they release a statement that broke my heart. T^T
The first time I heard about this news, I couldn't sleep well for 3 days. I just can't see it coming. I know that their last album was released 5 years ago so maybe I should have read it as a sign. But as with Kings of Convenience that took many years to be inactive then started to active again, I never really worry about it. I'm replaying their songs over and over again while mourning the demise of this great band. Here are some of their songs on Youtube:
Burning
Inflation
Golden Cage
Firework
1517
Gravity
Thank you & goodbye The Whitest Boy Alive. You will be missed. But your name with forever engrave in my heart.
