Mon 29th VPMG presents SIMONE WHITE + Jaymay
Doors 7.30 For those bewitched by the posthumous small-hours voice of Karen Dalton, here is a living echo of that still, small, intensely concentrated spirit; an intimate prettiness concealed within the rosebud are the thorns of subtly articulated political protest and the warped, eerie gaze on human weakness that has been The Velvet Underground's legacy to the modern folk idiom. More on Simone White's 'I Am The Man' is a summer soundtrack of charm and beguiling depths." **** [MOJO] "The songs drift dreamily between bittersweet romance, whimsy and the political while White's breathy, restful tones and Mark Nevers's muted production give everything a balmy unified feel of the rarest kind." **** [Q Magazine] "The Beep Beep Song" is brilliant whimsy. White sings something like Astrud Gilberto. The languor conceals a sharp, politicized observer of the American wasteland, and White's songs counter The Man's depredations with becalmed cool." [No Depression] "Coming out of seemingly nowhere, is Simone White, with a chameleon of a voice that changes shades and colors so naturally as to send you scratching the back of your mind trying to figure out where to place it." [LUNAPARK6] |
