The White Gospel Casino

White soul played by Essex boys with a Parisian frontman!

Doesn’t sound very likely on paper but luckily David Arscott has got a voice that can be powerful and soaring, but gently soulful in equal measure. The band have obviously been taking notes from the soul greats…but this is no retro thing. Totally Noughties whilst not giving a damn about what’s cool either.

Heart felt lyrics and luscious melodies weave between chiming guitars and a driving Hammond. Ok it may not be a Hammond but apart from a Bontempi (which it definitely isn’t) it’s the only organ we’ve ever heard of.

We’re getting the starkness of the Bunnymen but with an Essex brand of Northern Soul.

Don’t stare at the video for too long…it’ll do things to your brain.
