“Big Inner‘s seven tracks are full of moments…where you sense that in White, a genuinely great artist might have arrived almost out of the blue.” 5 stars, Guardian

“One of the great albums of modern Americana and one suspects that a reluctant start is born” 9/10 Uncut Album of the Month

‘White has sewn together a psychedelic patchwork from various indigenous sounds – cosmic soul and funk, morning-after blues – that’s as great as any of its obvious influences… cosmically knowing but with nifty footwork” 4/5 Q

“Strings and horns dance around in the subtle, sometimes funky background, while White’s song’s burst with Cosmic American ambition, referencing everything from Otis Redding to Gene Clark’s No Other. Yep. That good. A genuine classic in fact.” The Independent
