Master of Cretan lute, Γιώργος Ξυλούρης, and Jim White, a most innovative and charismatic drummer, have fulfilled a long held ambition in coming together as a duo and recording their first album GOATS. Fluid in nature, exciting and edgy, the music is riveting, compelling, spellbinding.

As George Xylouris drove Jim White from home to the studio, they saw a lot of goats on Crete’s rocky hillsides. Georges is Crete’s master of the lute. Jim is best known as the drummer of Dirty Three. Goats, Jim thought, would be a good name for the recording they were about to make. Goats are quintessentially Cretan animals. They love the high crags. They take risks calmly look about for new dangers. Goats, Jim and George agreed were a metaphor for the music they were about to invent - music that would fuse traditional Cretan music with rock. Both traditions would have to adapt but both these goats are lovers of going right up to the edge and nearly over.

More in tune now with the rhythm of the sun and moon, Xylouris White speak to each other across great distances with the intuition and fellowship that can only be found over years in each other’s company. With fewer distractions, appreciative of the freedom to play with new sounds and spaces, they carve "The Forest In Me" from unbelievably thin air.
