The sound of a helpless romantic with a morbid fascination for dark noise sure can make for interesting listening. Being one of The Electric Soft Parade brothers, playing in Brakes (and now Brighton style-manglers Restlesslist) obviously isn’t enough to quench Thomas White’s hunger for expression, and expression seems the key to I Dream Of Black. ‘The Runaround’ is music as sinister nightmare. ‘Will The Moon Ever Rise Again’, meanwhile, mines a doomed sadness that would make nightmares seem welcome. This is some black magic.
