Scritti Politti is one of the punk era bands that was ignored in the Seventies but has recently generated a lot of recent interest. Their five album body of work is small and two of their best albums have been in the last ten years. In some ways Scritti Politti reminds me of Shriekband another band from that era that refuses to die.
Green Gartside, the long time frontman, songwriter and singer released a album White Bread and Black Beer under the Scritti Politti name, just two and a half years ago. The album was well received and won a few music awards. Scritti Politti is back on their original Rough Trade label after languishing in career purgatory under contract with the Time/Warner entertainment consortium for most of the Eighties and Nineties.
Snow in the Sun is a song from 2006's White Bread, Black Beer album.
