and one with Fat Cat Records (2009's Touchdown). Thomas White Thomas White released his debut solo album, I Dream Of Black, on 14 July 2008 through Drift Records in the UK, Better Looking Records in the U.S. He spent much of 2009 touring and recording with Patrick Wolf. A follow-up, The Maximalist, was released through Cooking Vinyl in March 2010. Thomas's third full-length LP, "YALLA!" (Arabic for 'follow me') was released through Brighton's Bleeding Heart Recordings in March 2012 to mostly positive reviews. The album consists of just vocal and guitar and was recorded entirely on a MacBook in the home of a friend in Dahab, Egypt. As with The Maximalist, shows to promote the album have featured Thomas accompanied by a revolving choir of Brighton musicians, often decorated in Egyptian-style galabiyas.
