Echo Park-based songwriter Simone White shows a more adventurous side on her new album, "Silver Silver." The new music is a change of pace from her folky style found on previous releases. As opposed to those earlier albums where White worked with Nashville producer Mark Nevers, she stayed local this time around and worked with Samuel Bing and Julian Wass of LA band Fol Chen. Listening to the songs on the album gives the impression that White was searching for an alternate world. The first single, "What the Devil Brings", is full of unconventional motion. Instead of free flowing melodies that are easy to follow along, the song has a bit of a spasmodic feel. White sings at a whisper, but maintains bright and absorbing qualities. The new album will be released on the London label Honest Jon’s, which is affiliated with Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz fame. "Silver Silver" will be available on May 8th and features collaborations with Andrew Bird, Thao, and Victoria Williams. Flowing the release, White will travel NY, Switzerland, Netherlands and Denmark for a few shows. – Karla Hernández
