Noise Pop: John Paul White

John Paul White is a singer-songwriter and was a member of the Grammy Award-winning duo The Civil Wars. He restarted his solo career with his 2016 release, “Beulah”. Beulah is also something much loftier. For the poet and painter William Blake, Beulah was a place deep in the collective spiritual unconscious. “I won’t pretend to be the smartest guy in the world,” says White, “but I dig a lot of what he’s written. Beulah was a place you could go in your dreams. You could go there in meditation, to relax and heal and center yourself. It wasn’t a place you could stay, but you came back to the world in a better state.”
