XYLOURIS WHITE - MOTHER

Xylouris White's new album, Mother, is expected to be released on January 19th by Bella Union.

A passion for exploration comes naturally to Xylouris White, the rough, insightful duet formed by Cretan poet Yiorgos Xylouris and Australian drummer Jim White. For their debut album, Goats in 2014, Xylouris White was compared to the homonymous animals, wandering fearlessly on rough terrain. Two years later, they showed how far their horizons could reach the imposing Black Peak of 2016, which was named after the top of the mountain in Crete.

Just 15 months later, with sequel tours, the exploratory instincts of the twin still lead them to their third album, Mother, which will be released on January 19, 2018 at Bella Union and named to mark the New Life. As Xilouris puts it, "Mother is the expansion of Goats and Black Peak. Three things, all part of a whole. Katsikia are Mothers, Zeus grew up with Milk's milk, Black Peak is Mother Earth ... Mother Earth is the Mother of All. "

In the words of Xilouris, "It is the natural maturity of the fruit as it passes. As the fruit matures from the rhythm of nature, music grows at its own pace. So here are two marsh fruit that give the taste of their current maturity - and they are still children. "
