Having entranced us with his hypnotic drumming as one third of the Dirty Three, and lured us in with his work behind the kit for the likes of Cat Power, Xylouris White, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Nina Nastasia, and Bill Callahan, there truly are nothing like the rhythms-inside-and-outside-rhythms delivered by Mr Jim White. Now, Jim is set to release his very first solo drumming album on Drag City, All Hits: Memories. If you're perplexed by the notion of a drums-only album, you've simply got to spend a little time lending your ear to some of Jim White's work; the man is a magician more than a musician! - FlyingOut

“Jim’s big green eyes search for the right tool (mallet, brush, etc), search you like you’re a song he wants to see if he can add to. The trap kit — so straightforward, so mysterious. Air and light, a vibration sent through prehistoric breath, particles of Saturn’s atmosphere, the dead, wet leaves you walked through...the first day of school....Before humans, drums were playing—these drums. Genesis was a solo drum piece. After humans, these drums, this album. Someone—the last man—is out in a spaceship at the edge of space. He plays a single chord on a synth to set time free from its bind and then lets go. This album sets time free, lets it frolic, lets it graze, lets it remember. This is a record of thoughts, memories, surgery. A deft surgical operation you may not even realise is happening as it’s happening but you’re back on your feet when it’s over. Memories refreshed.” - Bill Callahan
