All the tracks you can find on this profile are made by me as one cat band, with my poor instruments and my own paws.



Oxide Tones is a small store and label specialising in Post Rock, ambient, drone and Math Rock. The idea is simply to help people get some decent music for a decent price, in combination with helping small bands get a foot in the door. Based in Germany, Oxide Tones now also has a shipping base in Austin texas, to avoid high shipping costs for North American customers.
Oxide Tones has only been going as a label since early 2011, and the demand has been so good that within the first year, over 10 releases were made. Names such as Mooncake, Collapse Under The Empire, Tunturia and The Echelon Effect have been glad to find a helping hand at Oxide Tones, as well as other "newer" artists like Circadian Eyes, This Patch of Sky and Until Sunrise.
2012 is shaping up to be just as amazing. New albums from Canyons of Static and Condre Scr as well as a few other surprises are all on the books. Keep up to date on our website/facebook/twitter:

"I'm calling out to joy... I'm reaching out to you at the top of my voice..."

The first words heard from the new album, "In My Younger Dreams", by Brandon White are a simple but powerful statement. With an eclectic recorded output to this point, this new collection of songs finds White settling into a sound that is comfortably familiar, yet the combination of White's emotionally powerful lyrics and voice, make for as refreshing a listening experience as one would expect from a Brandon White album.

What others are saying:

"…his songs run a full gamut of emotions, sometimes resilient and upbeat, but equally inclined towards contemplation and inspection… when an artist feels the need to open themselves to their audience this way, there's no space for filler or diversions..." - Leicester Bangs (UK)

"…he is able to reach out to his audience and grab them by the throat. Nothing cocky or thought up by marketing experts, but true and authentic…" - YourMusicBlog (NL)


During his short but productive recording career to this point, White has earned the respect of music fans, critics and Grammy Winners alike with Multi-Grammy Award Winner, Ross Hogarth, calling White- "The Killer Young Talent From Arkansas…" And from the power and emotion felt from the lead single, "I've Had Enough" to the gorgeous, Beach Boys like harmonies of "A Taste of California", to the Creedence Clearwater like boogie found on "Working Boy", White's new album,"In My Younger Dreams", is making it easy to see why.
