Album description

Sunlight is made up of a full spectrum of colors. As it reflects off an object, certain shades of light are absorbed and others are reflected. These reflected colors form the images that reach our eyes. Unfiltererd White Light contains every image you have seen and will ever see.

The Static you hear from a dead radio contains a full spectrum of sound all at equal volumes. It is said that within that invisible unfiltered noise, hidden in plain site, is every piece of music that will be, and ever has been written.

By the time Alex Dray and Eddy Silva had founded WhiteRoom, they had spent much of their lives trying to absorb as much human static as the body can take before going crazy. Dangerously close to the breaking point, it was clear that the only stress relief was to decipher, filter and sculpt their own version of the Great Universal Static. The result is an absorbing new musical gestalt: a twisted and unconscious homage to paying attention and letting go.

WhiteRoom easily establishes a firm foundation of Introspective Indie Rock while drifting fluidly between latin jazz, urban beats, haunting trip-hop and romantic cinema sound-scapes.

In a rare show of creative unification, the group draws on everything and anything within reach, breathing musical life into laptop screens and synthesizers as easily as into acoustic guitars and upright pianos. With a firm grasp of classic song-writing at its base, each song is infused with a quiet sense of dream-like storytelling.

Right now: WhiteRoom finds itself emerging as a clear voice to the guerilla DIY rise of next-generation composers. With their roots anchored healthily in the nurturing Montreal music scene, they are ready to branch out all over the networks of the world.

One of the best album I discovered in Jamendo.

The sound is great, very original. And the voice is so sweet!

I liked the mix between english french and spanish in the songs.

Very very good job guys!

Delightfully different

This album is unlike anything I've listened to recently. The complex electronic arrangements make this music seem totally current and intelligent. But it's still approachable and fun to listen to.

The singer has a great voice and the melodies are beautiful.

There's also a lot of substance. I think I will continue to listen to this album for a long time.

Beautifully played and sung with interesting harmony. Well-arranged with wide use of different instruments.Many good ideas(not only musical). Though sometimes this band could be mistaken for Radiohead or Coldplay, I must say that I prefer these guys.

Wow.. an oldie but a pure intoxicating,awesome and beautiful cracker of an album.That teased, please and intrigued me, and blow me away.

And held my attention, from start till end. On this very unique and creatively done, high caliber and thoughtful provocative album.That truly entertains and keeps me engrossed and captivated. There is absolutely never a dull moment, had on this superb album. It has everything inside it. From good use of sound samples, soundscapes with delightful sweet and uplifting, spirited, divine vocals and lyrics. To great captivating music to round it all off to perfect. And sweet, uplifting,mood setting auras that are peace filled, day dreamy, relaxing music. That is profound, breathtaking and oriental, exotic and magical and mysterious other times. On this romantic, poppy, indie,slight, rock,jazz,soul filled incredible articulate, wonderful entertaining album that this sure is..

I could picture this band live on stage..And being spellbound and simply lapping up all it has to offer me and so much more besides..They are very very talented singers, musicians in general. That are destined for great things..

I've had this on my mp3 player for months now. I absolutely adore this album. Each song is a completely different flavour, but they flow together effortlessly. I would love to hear more!
It's also very commendable how you have taken elements from various varieties of music from around the world and great job on the singing in different languages! It's not easy to do. While I'm on the voice, the singer has a delightfully smooth voice which is a great pleasure to listen to.
More please!

One of the very best

Fluid is the word for this album - a true masterpiece if I ever heard one. Marvelous vocals and beautiful poetry. This album has been around for a few years but since I have stumbled on it just now and got hooked….

I adored Papillons "…a thousand silver butterflies danced fearless among the waves" was such a beautiful vision that I could forgive the sadness of the story about letting a friend down.

The song "Emma's Bridge" was so unique with the transient sound of the musical instruments playing differing genre's while accompanying the singer who sang in a sultry tone (reminiscent to me of the 1930's cabaret style music).

The Latin Jazz song "Barrio Chino" had a catchy tune sung by an endearing male voice. "Barcelona" was so foot tapping, it was delightful and that wonderful whistling was just the right touch to this tune.

And what was "Ender?"
There was quite the asian flavor to the first section of that song, but its beginning with the radio static and the thousand hammers beating on metal or an exceptionally loud typewriter - and then a beautiful melody and song. It ended the same way it began. I just loved "Ender" - it made me question my sanity. Can that be a good thing?

Also we have these Interludes - three of them altogether. Interesting little pieces, melodious in a devious way. "Ordinary Day" was an incredibly beautiful song with a sweet melody and lovely lyrics. "Running on Empty" was a fantastic finale - I stand and applaud - 'encore, encore. '

I love this album, and the artists' wizardry in using my headphones to manipulate me, my emotions and perceptions; entertaining me with delightful stories; lulling me with beautiful harmony and melodies; amazing me with inventiveness and artistry - this is an album that has it all. One of the very best.
