White Town

White Town is a techno-pop act from the United Kingdom, and is the work of one man, Jyoti Mishra. Mishra was born in Rourkela, India, on July 30, 1966, and has lived in England since the age of three. White Town is often regarded as a one-hit wonder for its 1997 song "Your Woman" which reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart in January of that year and #23 in the US Billboard Hot 100.

Mishra, a straight edger and ex-Marxist, often incorporates political concerns in his songs veiled in terms of personal relationships (as in his only hit). After a troubled working relationship with EMI Records, Mishra was dropped from the label in 1997. Since then, he has gone back to working with indie labels like Parasol Records. His album, 2000's Peek & Poke, received moderately enthusiastic reviews but sold poorly compared to his major label work.

In 2005, White Town contributed the song "The Pnac Cabal" to the charity album Voyces United for UNHCR.

A new 7" vinyl single, the "A New Surprise EP" was released in September 2006 by Swedish indie label Heavenly Pop Hits, and was quickly followed up by the album Don't Mention the War, which launched Mishra's own Bzangy Records label.

Mishra currently lives in Derby.

The Music Video for "Your Woman" was shot in Derby City Centre and features iconic buildings and sculptures around Derby such as "the urinal" fountain, the "Derby Ram" and the Guild Hall.

      Each of the speeches are appropriately monolithic — Oppenheimer's famous quoting of the Bhagavad Gita after the first testing of the atomic bomb in 1945, Savio's terrifyingly prescient "bodies upon the gears" screed in 1964, King's 1967 lament that the horrors of modern life "cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love" — and it's telling that they all come from the last millennium. Because, really what A Thousand Suns (which takes its name from Oppenheimer's speech) is trying to say is that none of these problems, these terrors or these specters that haunt us in 2010 are particularly new. Quite the opposite, in fact. We've just chosen to ignore the warnings. And now it might be too late. And that's another reason it reminds me so much of Kid A.
