For lovers of his acoustic duo Kings Of Convenience or of his eponymous solo/collaborative project, then The Whitest Boy Alive is another excellent off shoot for the enigmatic Norwegian Erland Øye.

With Erland's naïve and off-centred vocals The Whitest Boy Alive is a band project as opposed to an electronic one, yet admittedly it is not always easy to tell. True to pop-form Dreams is completely listenable and its similarities to his past work are best thought of as reliable as opposed to predictable, because let's face it - who hasn't needed the soul saving lyrics of Erland Øye before?
