Jim White

Troublesome sat nav systems and London traffic did their best to try and prevent this session from going ahead, in Jim’s obstacle-ridden journey to get to the Union Chapel last month.

The 180g double LP version of Jim White’s new album, Where It Hits You, is now available the Loose online store.

Described by The Mirror as, ‘an artistic triumph,’ Where It Hits You is White’s first “proper” album since 2008’s Transnormal Skiperoo. And though we didn’t think it was possible, the album sounds even more eloquent on vinyl.
