Well, we love Erlend Øye, so it stands to reason that we’re gonna love his new project, The Whitest Boy Alive. This one’s not softacoustic, nor sololectronic; it’s more, um, “regular band-y”. They’ve got tracks streaming at their Myspace, so go check ‘em out (the whiteboy funk groove of “Above You” burned itself into my skull after just a few listens). Their full-length, Dreams, is out June 1 on Service (well, probably not in the US, but c’mon, you should be import-saavy by now).
