Double LP version. NJ White -- aka Whitey -- explodes out of the shadows with the announcement of his highly anticipated album Mental Radio. Pulling in influences from across decades of sound and putting it through the Whitey blender to create something musically fresh, Mental Radio is an album that in turn is furious, raw, amused, politically razor sharp and poignant, a satirical take on 21st Century life, a musical pop art collage. As an individual, Whitey prefers to speak via his work, and has eluded all interviews for well over a decade -- leading one journalist to describe him as "the musical equivalent of Bigfoot." Despite this elusive stance, his music continues to rack up many millions of plays and draw fans from all ages across the globe. Across a string of acclaimed albums, Whitey's music has made its mark, from rock'n'roll clubs to electronic dance floors, fashion catwalks to movie soundtracks, television to computer games, from Breaking Bad and the Sopranos to Grand Theft Auto. Whitey has built a strange home in the shadows between mainstream entertainment and the vanishing underground, an outsider who celebrates his outsider ethos in his work -- and yet whose music is embraced by both popular and alternative culture. Whitey is a prominent spokesperson for independent music -- his viral letter about "fair fees for artists" was shared 500,000+ times; and made Newsweek, The Times, BBC Worldwide, and the front editorial of Music Week. Whitey's back catalogue has previously received praise from the likes of The Independent, The Guardian, Record Collector, Uncut, and Rock Sound, to name a few. Vinyl is housed in a gatefold sleeve. Includes two printed inner sleeves.
