about

“A mean feat of alchemy… and totally excellent.” – Lauren Laverne

“Great… really interesting.” – Jarvis Cocker

“It’s clever what they do. Really clever.” – Paul Weller

“Most gorgeous… highly recommended.” – Don Letts

Following their co-writing/production of Paul Weller’s “Glad Times”, from the Number 1 Fat Pop (Volume 1) album and “Movin’ On” (from 2018’s True Meanings), London-based Scottish duo White Label (Anth Brown & Tom Doyle) return with their long-in-the-making debut album of original songs, Other Voices.

Opening with a vocal cameo from Weller on the atmospheric “The Sea’s Out At Night”, Other Voices features one of the final vocal performances by the late Bim Sherman on “Do You Believe?” – recorded in 2000 by the Jamaican-born reggae singer at White Label’s North London studio (and now central to a new kaleidoscopic, psychedelic production) – and a retro-modernist soul collaboration with English singing legend Linda Lewis (David Bowie, Basement Jaxx, Common) on “Still Moving”, partly inspired by Sly and Robbie’s Compass Point sessions with Grace Jones in the early ‘80s.

Elsewhere, “Sleepwalking” is a haunted audio dub pop track featuring Chicago-raised, Glasgow-based singer Jill O’Sullivan (Jill Lorean, Sparrow and the Workshop), while “The Noise And The Screen”, “Eddy Street” and “Turn Down The Noise” are fronted by Dundee singer Syann, with the latter track also featuring sampled backing vocals from the same city’s sadly-missed Associates singer Billy MacKenzie.

Other Voices arrives in the wake of White Label’s acclaimed 2017 remix album Borrowed Voices (featuring Mark Eitzel, Emma Pollock, Erland Cooper and Hannah Peel) and their 2011 bootleg remix album Stolen Voices, which reimagined a different musical past by creating elaborate, full band arrangements around vocals from rare demos by the likes of David Bowie, John Lennon, Dennis Wilson and The Supremes. The Guardian praised White Label for “using technology to write their own version of musical history”.

When successive release the 1972 EP (featuring Neil Young, Marc Bolan and Roberta Flack) received plays on daytime Radio 2 from Lauren Laverne and Dermot O’Leary, White Label realised that their cheekily illegal experiment had maybe proved too successful. They were advised by lawyers to stop selling vinyl copies of Stolen Voices on their website, although the tracks from it are now inevitably floating around online, while the original LP fetches up to £100 on Discogs.

Radio 6 Music supporters of tracks already released from Other Voices include Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie, Don Letts and Cerys Matthews. White Label are planning live shows around the release of the album, to feature the band playing along to bespoke videos accompanying a selection of their bootleg/official remixes and original songs, featuring a guest singer or two on stage.

A lovely album, although at first I didn’t like it at all.. the reason being that I opted to buy the vinyl copy. Unfortunately, the record is mastered/cut very badly and it wasn’t until I played the digital version on my audio player that I engaged with the songs. Yes, vinyl is having its second wind nowadays, but it seems that sub-standard engineers/companies are jumping on the bandwagon. Please, please, please; if you’re getting your album cut onto disc, use the right people... Steve Parry
