Thomas White is better known as a vocalist from the band The Electric Soft Parade. He has released the single ‘The Runaround’ from the album ‘I dream of Black’ and contains a sound of electric indie with a 70s vibe. White who is known for his talent, his recent single has a sound of rock with a bit of quirkiness.

I pressed play and I thought the CD player had broke; it was the intro that went from quiet to loud. Personally the music took too long to kick in and the rest of the song had so many different sounds going on I was confused.
