Xylouris White share 'Tree Song' video & new song 'Black Sea' from upcoming album 'The Sisypheans'

Xylouris White is the alliance between Greek singer & lute player George Xylouris and drummer Jim White (Dirty Three). Xylouris White reconciles not only the tandem’s respective roots, but above all, a deep friendship forged in 25 years.

Now, the group share 'Tree Song', the first single from their upcoming album 'The Sisypheans', out 8 November 8th via Drag City. Produced by Guy Picciotto, the album is inspired by the metaphor-rich Greek myth of Sisyphus, a man condemned to climb a hill with the same rock for all eternity, only to watch it roll back down again. 'Tree Song' is an extensive seven-minute version of a traditional Greek song. The video is directed by Jem Cohen, watch it below. Additionally, the group have also shared new song Black Sea that you can listen to below.
