Jim White (born 1962) is an Australian drummer, songwriter, and producer from Melbourne, Australia. He has been involved in various musical projects throughout his career, including Happy Orphans with Conway Savage and People With Chairs Up Their Noses. Jim has also played with bands such as Feral Dinosaurs, Brainshack, Venom P. Stinger, Hessian Sax, Conway Savage And The Deep South, Blackeyed Susans, Busload Of Faith, Kim Salmon's STM, Dirty Three and Charles Marshall And The Body Electric.

In addition to his band work, Jim has lived part-time in Chicago since the late 1990s and has collaborated with numerous artists as a session musician. He has contributed to records or tours with Will Oldham (*Bonnie "Prince" Billy*), Cat Power (*Chan Marshall*), Nina Nastasia, Smog (*Bill Callahan*), and White Magic. Jim is also a member of Tren Brothers (with Dirty Three guitarist Mick Turner) and Boxhead Ensemble.

It is important not to confuse Jim White with the Americana singer/songwriter *Jim White*, who typically does not play drums.

With an unwavering focus on quality over quantity, Drag City carefully curates its releases, ensuring each album receives the attention it deserves. Their meticulous attention to detail extends beyond the music itself, with beautifully designed album artwork and packaging that enhance the overall listening experience.

“Jim’s big green eyes search for the right tool (mallet, brush, etc), search you like you’re a song he wants to see if he can add to. The trap kit — so straightforward, so mysterious. Air and light, a vibration sent through prehistoric breath, particles of Saturn’s atmosphere, the dead, wet leaves you walked through...the first day of school....Before humans, drums were playing—these drums. Genesis was a solo drum piece. After humans, these drums, this album. Someone—the last man—is out in a spaceship at the edge of space. He plays a single chord on a synth to set time free from its bind and then lets go. This album sets time free, lets it frolic, lets it graze, lets it remember. This is a record of thoughts, memories, surgery. A deft surgical operation you may not even realise is happening as it’s happening but you’re back on your feet when it’s over. Memories refreshed.” - Bill Callahan
