Bandleader and soul visionary Matthew E. White has unveiled ‘Rock & Roll Is Cold’, the first full single from Fresh Blood, his new album for Domino that’s released on 9 March 2015.

Despite White declaring that “everyone knows rock and roll is cold” in the first verse, ‘Rock & Roll Is Cold’ is actually the opposite, an effortlessly cool celebration of a song with a highly addictive piano melody and a slinky R&B groove. Sounding brighter and bolder than Big Inner with some serious pop chops in tow, it’s unmistakably a Matthew E. White track – full of character and confidence as well as those pristine horn arrangements we’ve come to love.

“Rock & Roll is Cold is about how we continue to take the most vibrant, soulful, deep music and make it a caricature of itself. We look into it, force it to turn in on itself, force it to turn back on itself, and we lose the source, we lose the mystery, the magic, and we seem to be unaware that any of that is even happening.“ – Matthew E. White

What’s more, White’s special solo show at St. Luke’s on 10 March 2015 sold out mere hours after Fresh Blood’s announcement. Full band shows for April 2015 detailed below.

Fresh Blood will be available on CD (WIGCD309), vinyl (WIGLP309) and via digital download (WIG309D). There is also a special edition of the album, which is a double LP gatefold heavyweight vinyl (WIGLP309X) containing a bonus LP titled Fresh Blood: No Skin – a full length minimalist mix of the entire album, minus strings/horns or choir. You can pre-order Fresh Blood via iTunes or DomMart.

Praise for Big Inner:

‘Over seven elegant tracks, White and his musicians achieve the kinds of loveliness that Spiritualized, Lambchop, Cat Power and the Beta Band have tilted at, at different times in the past, and quite often missed’
5/5 The Observer ‘Album of the Week’

‘A genuinely great artist’
5/5 The Guardian ‘Album of the Week’

‘A contender for album of the year’
5/5 The Sun

‘A genuine classic.’
5/5 Independent On Sunday

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

‘A debut album of psychedelic gospel-tinged gems’
4/5 Mojo

‘Incredibly accomplished’
4/5 The Times

‘Pure quality’
4/5 The Evening Standard

‘A hugely impressive debut’
4/5 The Independent

‘An uplifting record, all the more enjoyable for its sense of restraint’
4/5 Metro

‘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

‘Many have tried to recreate the vibrancy and laidback groove of vintage soul-pop, but to absolutely nail it you need to be someone truly cosmic. Amy Winehouse just about managed it and Matthew E. White is one other such person.’
8/10 NME

‘Soaked in a bygone age of classic country soul… one of the coolest cats you’re likely to come across in 2013’
Music Week

‘If you like Randy Newman and Lambchop, Big Inner will have a similar effect on you’
The Sunday Times

‘Bathe in the redemptive charm of an orchestrally dense paean to the seventies… somewhere between Nick Drake and Cat Stevens’
GQ

‘This is the kind of debut on which devotional followings are founded’
4/5 The Skinny

‘Reading the classics will never guarantee making a classic album, but Matthew E. White is certainly one student that’s just joined the masters’
