about

'Best Rock Record of 2020 So Far'
"The journey to the center of White’s songs is always a challenge, but an irresistible one... wry imagery that’s part Shakespeare, part Warren Zevon... searingly literary lyricism."

-New York Music Daily
bit.ly/2AKIi04

"Los Angeles based art-rocker Ward White is an acquired taste, but it’s a gourmet meal... easily his most ambitious work... it’s pure brilliance. The lyrics are acidic poetry... Take your time with this one, it’s definitely highly recommended." 8/10

-Powerpopaholic
bit.ly/2B3hM1N

"The man is an absolute revelation. His lyrics are more akin to poetry, and he builds characters in his songs with a depth unrivaled by most singer songwriters. This album is in a league of its own. Beautifully thought out, played and produced... album of the year material without a doubt."

-I Don't Hear a Single
bit.ly/3hZFih2

"Ward White somehow modulates the spectacular scope and almost incomprehensible breadth of his songs into small gems that are both instantly relatable and eternally entrancing. Alt pop that both charms the ears and the mind is a rare commodity, but White has a firm grip on the secret."

-Aiding & Abetting
www.aidabet.com/2020/073020.html

"Lyrically deft, melodically commanding... art-pop auteur Ward White loves to tweak his tunes into idiosyncratic shapes."

-CultureSonar
www.culturesonar.com/the-other-side-of-the-pen-songs-about-songwriters/

"Frighteningly sublime... an expressionist and lyrical painting... reassures the belief that writing excellent music is still possible."

about

Ward White Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles based art-rock crooner Ward White has released a spate of critically lauded albums that defy easy categorization. Praised for his “superbly lyrical voice” (The New Yorker), his music remains firmly under the mainstream radar. Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh recently invited Ward to join him on Rain Phoenix’s ‘LaunchLeft’ podcast, where he called the prolific songwriter “a poet”. ... more
