KevinC.Mar 19, 2008Anybody listening to Jim White for the first time will appreciate the crisp presentation and brilliant songwriting of this album. The only trouble is you'll end up having to go out and buy all his previous work. Along with Sufjan Stevens, he's the best thing to come out of America in the last five years. Make sure you go and see him live too, what a voice!

While it may not be as striking an artistic statement as its predecessors, the general tone of easygoing bonhomie makes Transnormal Skiperoo a decidedly satisfying release, and the simple fact that it's an album's worth of fine new White material is in itself cause for plenty of contentment.
-
With accompaniment as varied as vocals from Ollabelle and Brazilian percussion from Mauro Refosco, White still keeps us off balance with rich, unpredictable textures ("Diamonds to Coal") that convey lost-in-the-backwoods disorientation ("Counting Numbers in the Air").
