Reviews:
''White Bread, Black Beer'' is the fifth studio album from vocalist and guitarist Green Gartside's genre-eclectic Scritti Politti. It features the single "The Boom Boom Bap". For this album Gartside returned to Rough Trade Records, with whom he had recorded his first album back in 1982 (during his then band's 'post-punk' period). Since then Scritti Politti had been signed to Virgin and the previous three albums have been known for their highly-produced sound. White Bread, however, marks a return to a more minimalist style, recorded and mixed at Gartside's home in East London. Alongside works by Thom Yorke, Lou Rhodes, Muse, Arctic Monkeys and Hot Chip, the album was nominated for the 2006 Mercury Music Award. Though the award went to Arctic Monkeys, the album has still been critically regarded as one of 2006's finest, and led Gartside to perform his first worldwide gigs in almost 25 years.
So far, ''The Boom Boom Bap'' has been the sole single released from the album, reaching #10 in the UK Indie charts.
"The Boom Boom Bap" was listed as the 412th best song of the 2000's by Pitchfork. - Wikipedia
