September 8, 2023 – London based Blanco White has released new single "Una Noche Más", ahead of the release of his new album Tarifa, out September 29th via Nettwerk. "Una Noche Más" encapsulates feelings of torment as a relationship comes to a close. Led by Blanco White's signature use of the Bolivian instrument the charango, the song drifts between sections permeated by delicate electronics as Edwards' enchanting voice soars, yearning for one more night.
Self-produced by Blanco White (aka Josh Edwards) in collaboration with Nubiyan Twist's Pilo Adami, with additional production from Bullion (Nilüfer Yanya, Hayden Thorpe), "Una Noche Más" follows the release of the album's title track and last month's transportive dream-folk odyssey "Silver Beaches". "This song helped me make sense of the end of a long relationship and was part of the grieving process that comes with a break up. It's often very difficult to let go during that time, and you find yourself clinging on to all the memories. 'Una Noche Más' translates as 'One More Night' and tries to encapsulate some of those feelings of not being able to let go. The making of the song felt quite solitary and it was the first time I wrote, produced and mixed a track alone. I think the very personal nature of the song contributed to that kind of process, and made me feel more protective over it than normal," states Josh Edwards.

Blanco White has already crafted a sound of his own with his off-world explorations of Latin American and Andalusian folk music. On Tarifa, Josh Edwards’ second solo album, he mines new depth within his colourful fusions of folk with indie and electronics, while embracing the thrill of collaboration, discovery and cultural exchange. As an album, Tarifa straddles genres, leaning into dream pop references like Beach House with extensive use of organs and synths, alongside more organic instrumentation and percussion. Its tender, folk-leaning poetic side draws on sources like Sufjan Stevens and Feist, with the acoustic Andean instruments the charango and ronroco remaining centrepieces of Blanco White’s sound. Edwards’ collaboration with percussionist and co-producer Adami places a strong focus on rhythm throughout the album, with syncopation and swing at the heart of its identity. Rooted in resilience, recovery and relief, Tarifa is as much an album about healing as it is one about escape, exploring new worlds, and building new worlds of his own. Pre-save Tarifa here. Blanco White released his debut album On the Other Side in 2020, which has since seen over 130 million streams, and has received wide praise from CLASH Magazine, The Independent, Billboard, Wonderland Magazine, Pop Matters, American Songwriter and more, and has embarked on numerous global tours including support runs with Jose Gonzalez and Gregory Alan Isakov as well as momentous headline shows of his own, including a sold out night at London's famous Union Chapel. |
