Superwhite: The Story of Jim White’s Relationship w/ David Byrne

Jim White is a fringe artist, working in a variety of mediums. In an average year, he splits his time between being a musician, music producer, visual artist, and writer.

Musically his work has been compared to the likes of Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and Captain Beefheart, while his stories and lyrics lean in the Southern Gothic direction, most often reminding people of Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor.

He has released six studio albums and five side projects over the years and songs he’s written have frequently appeared both in films and television—most recently his song “Wordmule,” which was featured in the opening segment of the final season of Breaking Bad.
