i'm also hearing some Emiliani Torrini on the Beep Beep Song
This new talent is worth the entrance fee alone...........
"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--
"Simone White's indie-folk quasi-protest song, "American War," is witty, provocative, and effective without being angry or disillusioned." --Billboard--
"A late-night melancholy gem." --Bucketfull of Brains--
"Simone White's debut album is a delightful treat. The moment that "America In '54" comes on your stereo, you'll think that Joni Mitchell has been re-incarnated...Sincere is the perfect word for this consistent first release. Appropriate for any season, this will appeal to fans of classic singer/songwriters, and also modern female artists such as Cat Power." --liepaper.com--
"sensitive, strangely soulful, bizarre..." --Boog City--
