Album: RulesArtist: The Whitest Boy Alive
Label: Bubbles Records
Due Out: March 3rd
The Whitest Boy Alive's new album, Rules, may be one of the most black and white albums of the year (in the best sense, of course). The band builds on its sound from 2006's Dreams and seemingly creates a basic structure by which to write each of their songs by. You're never surprised, nor taken aback by anything you hear, but it remains an enjoyable experience. It's a calculated record- one that moves with ease, and alludes to house jazz and electronic aspects more than its supposed indie pop label may indicate, but is still able to maintain a rock vibe. At times, Rules sounds like Ben Folds at his most daring musical moments, but overall, a calm and relaxed sound one can truly appreciate over the course of its 11 tracks.
