SCRITTI POLITTI
white bread, black beer

Release Date: 17/07/2006

first new studio album in years for green gartside's scritti politti and a return to his spiritual home rough trade records. 'white bread, black beer' emerges seven whole years after the pop-meets-hip-hop glory of its predecessor 'anomie and bonhomie', an album that itself was a full 11 years in waiting. the album was recorded at his home studio and it brings back the bare sound of the band and green's legendary vocals. the highlights are the mid-period-beatles bounce of 'dr abernathy', the honey sweet 'snow in sun' and the clipped funk of 'e11th nuts'. a reflective and beautiful album.
