"White Bread Black Beer"

Location: London

Bio: White Bread Black Beer is the first new album by Green Gartside, the man who is Scritti Politti, since 1999. The album features fourteen new ... (more) tracks, written and recorded solo by Gartside in a back room in his Hackney, London home.

A four-star review in the Observer (UK) calls White Bread Black Beer "a triumphant return from a true maverick." Gartside's history-from Camden squat-land post-punk collective to purveyor of "lustrously polished [pop] which earned him the distinction of Miles Davis' admiration and the right to be considered a founding father of modern American R&B-is an extraordinary one. And after a long silence, his new album finds him at last reconciling all of the strands of this history, from his intellectual lyrical preoccupations to the seductive pop sensibility of his mid-eighties work. Or, as the Observer concluded, "The best of the songs here might be the work of a post-structuralist Brian Wilson."
