“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

ATTONBITUS: BEST OF ADELAIDE FESTIVAL




Little Whitey had a big night out at The Exeter this morning. Astonished to find Michael Brigante playing in the lane ... he calls his stuff Attonbitus ... his new CD's been ripping my cottage air apart since I found home in the sunrise ... check this stuff!




sometimes Michael takes me to Mercury Rev; othertimes he's pure Philip White - not me, but my New York brother whose Colonic Youth blisters me .... photographs©Philip White
